Dont know where to put this, looking for UPS for my NAS, 120$ max. Thx in advance

What would be your hardware specs and devices you plan to keep on the UPS we can get a better idea of what you'll need.

I have a ds418j with 2x 6tb red pro hard drives, just the NAS for at least a hour.

Your not going to be able to power it for an hour with most UPS's, most are for maybe 10 mins before saving and shutting down. You can overrate the UPS so it's larger than what is needs but there's a certain limit to how long it can run unless you get extended run time units which are in a different class. 

 

That NAS will only use maybe 50-75W max but even with a 450W unit you loose that efficiency at a low wattage and only get around 40 mins of runtime.

I'd recommend the PFC units or the Pro sinewave units from APC but that would work. As said your runtime will not be an hour even being over 800W, for those UPS's you can configure auto shutdown on your NAS once the battery runs down if there is an extended power outage.
