APC SMT1000RM2UC 1000VA

This is my second APC rack-mount UPS for home use. I spent a lot of time researching the different vendors and their battery run times based on the load I was expecting. I chose the higher rated model for my second one (my first was 750VA) because I wanted to last through outages up to an hour. Setup is relatively straightforward, though I think the SmartConnect interface is very much lacking relative to a Network Management Card (which I bought after the fact). APC wants customers to pay for online access to additional features such as control of the outlet groups, which I find cheap and tacky. Based on my 200W load, the UPS will give me close to an hour backup, which is ample time to safely protect my QNAP NAS drives (they use SNMP to detect an outage and perform a clean shutdown), and to shed load by powering off my NVR and other non-essential devices. The APC UPS is a solid piece of hardware, and I trust the brand and reputation to protect my essential data against surges, brown-outs, and black-outs.
