Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was getting frequent 5-10 second brown outs in my community and it was causing havoc with my mirrored RAID disk array when my PC would loose power; would take 3 hours to rebuild and verify data integrity.My PC has a newer Active PFC power supply and would not work with my older UPS which did not output a pure sine wave.I also usually have one or two other dedicated servers I use for software development.
Did some research and settled on this APC UPS.The UPS has worked flawlessly.Keeping all my expensive servers online during the brown outs and saving a ton of time from the RAID verify/rebuilds that I was suffering from.
This unit comes out of the box setup as a rack mountable UPS, but the conversion to stand-up tower mode is very easy to do.Just be aware that this thing is REAL heavy and requires you to flip it around a bit to do the conversion.I ended up with a couple of bruises from resting the unit on my legs.No special power outlets are required.This unit uses the normal household plugs.
I have a constant 300-400 watt power requirement with my main PC on; 1200 watt power supply, 4 hard disks, ATI 5800 series graphics card.If I turn on my other two servers I have a 800 watt drain with all 3 computers on.UPS reports 40 minutes of stand-by power if I just use my main PC.It reports 22 minutes of standy-by power if I have all 3 computers running.The front panel LCD display reports a lot of information including current watt usage, stand-by power time, etc...
