I have a low power NAS (~35W) and I want to buy an UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to keep things running. The problem is most UPS for well known brands have an idle power usage (even without load) greater than 20W. It’s comprable with the NAS + HDDs + Network equipment…
Do you know any alternative? UPS battery for 10 minutes will be enough. UPS load could be very low < 50 W. UPS software is optional.
Interesting I kept reading USB enclosures like that aren’t a reliable setup, at least specifically with unRAID. I’ve been saving up for a Synology NAS as my “low power” storage for my mini pc cluster.

I read that too but I had 2 external cases (fatenc and yottamaster) for more than 7 years and 0 problems.
