1, Cleans up the output on some circuits 2. Back-up power supply 3. Works out of the box 4. Nice look 5. Batteries are replaceable 6. Lots of outlets 7. Can charge your phone or other devices with USB ports

I have 3 of these. The geometry works well for my use case. Has USB charging port.

Small, sturdy design Nice looking face plate

Many fans more then most servers comes with.

- Well built, much more rigid construction than i was expecting. - Easy to work in, lots of space to get your hands in there - If you don't want to use the internal fans (which use Molex) and switch to PWM, super easy to grab any 120s and drop them in the front, same with the 80s in the back. - Lots of room for cable management

At my battery replacement age of this product.. I bought this in 2010 it seems, and pretty sure this is my first time replacing the battery. Has done its job all these years.

- Inexpensive, compared to other solutions - Includes the hardware for mounting drives and board

Easy to set up and use.

Nice build quality, decent fit and finish, reasonable beveled edges. No sharp bits to get cut on.


Best part of this UPS is the LCD display. It has a pocketful of vitals that it can display. I leave it set to Output (in wattage) to keep an eye on my power usage. It has a nice back light that can be seen day or night.

- Lots of PCIe lanes - True x16 PCIe slot that can bifurcate to x4x4x4x4 - True x4 Slot - And a x1 Slot - Two M.2 slots that do not interfere with any other component

Lots of space

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

Works out-of-the-box with various Linux distros using 4.x kernel (currently Debian Stable) Works well with mdadm Simple settings Works well/reliably/as advertised


My last APC purchase was many years ago and that unit lasted way past the rated replacement date. So when I went shopping they were my first choice. I hope the new builds are as good as quality as the one I had before. The new one is a larger unit and the nice feature I like is that I can see how many watts are being drawn when I plug something in so this device is also being used as a watt meter at times. A few dollars I've always meant to spend on a watt meter no longer needing to be spent. The other feature I like compared to my older unit is that I can turn off beeps. I don't want a noise telling me the power is out when I'll already know that has happened.

Easy per-slot PCIe speed control and bifurcation options. Intuitive Bios in general. miniSASHD SATA breakouts, instead of individual ports (those breakout cables are included!) Very stable running proxmox once I disabled C-state options. IPMI is great (and the password for which can be easily reset in the BMC settings of the BIOS!)

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!

clean nice finish affordable has some space
