NAS With UPS Shutdown Capability

[JohnDickey]

I am looking for an inexpensive NAS for home use (single drive) with the capability of getting shutdown when an attached UPS senses a power failure.

So far I have seen mention of this capability on the:
Buffalo Technology LinkStation Live LS-CHL, and
Synology DS109.

Please let me know if the above units work as advertised,
if there are other home NAS with this capability,
I am also interested in BYOD Enclosures.

Thanks
John

(P.S. A hackable linux box might be fun to play with after a couple of years.)

Try the QNAP TS-110:

You can browse their online forums to see if there are any user complaints.

Thanks, I will look at the QNAP TS-110 that you pointed out and its forums to see how well liked it is.

There are many NASes that support this feature via USB. All QNAP and Synologies, most Buffalos, Iomegas, NETGEAR ReadyNASes, etc.

Thanks, I will look at these other brands also. I think the ability to monitor power status from an UPS is an important feature even for SOHO environments and I have not seen this capability well advertised.
