Hi All,

Apologies if this is in the wrong community.

I'm looking to get a UPS for my home server. It runs Homeassistant, Plex, and a few other things. I mainly need something to protect from power flickers/blips, and for it to allow a proper shutdown for prolonged power outages.

Here is the power useage on all my devices:

  • Server: 350w
  • NAS: 90w
  • Router: 42w

Any info on what to look for or which model to buy would be greatly appreciated.

APC makes good hardware, just their software route is going down the dark road. If you do not need the software aspects/use it as a standalone device, then APC still makes good quality UPSes.

That being said, the value:dollar ratio I still think cyberpower wins, especially for home use. My current design is Cyberpower (homeuse) || Eaton (Server/critical infra use)
