Battery Backup Choices?

[god_bmxes]

So today my C drive on my server corrupted after a power flicker, the server is just connected to a mediocre surge protector and it was bound to happen. So now I need to get a UPS for the server and I am trying to find the right option, I want an Eaton as we use them at work and have had good success with them but am torn between an older low end enterprise grad unit or a newer home style unit, I want to stay under 200 for this and those are the two options in that price point. So here are the two I am looking at, one is an Eaton 5S 1000LCD and the other is an Avaya 9125 1000i, both are 1000VA which should give my server 5+ minutes of run time and both are Eaton made. Ill add links to the bottom but let me know what you guys think. Also if you guys have a better suggestion i am open too it, Trying to keep under $200 with replaceable batteries and 1000+VA, also preferably a way for it to shut down the server and ethernet possibly.

 

Thanks

Of the two I'd go for the 2U retired UPS. You may want to replace the batteries though. These types of units offer better features and protection for your equipment than consumer standing UPS's. Most are square wave and only line interactive while what I can find on the 2U it always runs off the battery the server never actually sees direct AC power. I can't find if it's Square wave, Simulated sinewave or pure sine wave but it's likely one of the latter two which is better than consumer units.

Thank you! I bought the Avaya , hopefully it works good.
