Hi All,
I am on lookout for long for DIY NAS build for selecting different components, now I am at the last stage and that is selecting the prower supply. Since I plan to create a windows based NAS hence I think it would be better to have a UPS based power backup for the NAS PC. So I looked up on google and found that in less than 4K range we get line interactive Smart UPS from APC which has USB interface that can shutdown the windows properly if there is a powercut. Found similar product from iBall as well (Nirantar series) having similar functionalities
My question being
1. Can I go for iBall since it is a much cheaper solution?
2. If I do invest in a Smart UPC that gives out sinewave and also protects from surge then is it also mandatory to buy a good PSU for the PC or can I then go for not so costly (less than 1K) type of PSU?
Thanks in advance
