UPS with USB Auto Shutdown for DS1520+?

[lastguardian]

Hi looking for a low capacity UPS just for the purpose to give my NAS enough time to shutdown.

Any recommendations that have that USB plug that communicates with the NAS to initiate shutdown?

You can check out online store for APC BackUPS with USB connector. Most should work. Do check out your NAS forum just in case there are compatibility issues (rarely).

Been using APC for several brands of NASes in the past. No problem. Currently using this (new look) for my DIY NAS.​

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, will take a closer look at APC, yours looks good but lacks USB for my case heh.

Thanks again! have a good weekend.

There is. You missed it. It is located on the top left side of the rear view picture named “Data port” . It is a USB type-B.

Personally I have never bought a UPS without a data/communication port (USB/ethernet/serial) which is used for configuring the appliance to initiate a proper shutdown. Kind of defeat the purpose to buy one without.​

i thought for most apc ups models the communication connection is usually use the rj45 to usb cable?

You can try Prolink UPS - Shoppe selling around 95. i am not sure how many years of warranty.
Found some review for you.

Thank you, I'm a greenhorn and I was stupidly looking for a regular USB port.

Big appreciation for the clarification, now my search becomes easier.
