M2 Mac Mini UPS Purchase Help

by Poster May 2, 2025 9
As mentioned in the title, there is an M2 Mac Mini connected hard disk box at home that has been running at home 24 hours a day for a long time, acting as a NAS and workstation. Recently, I wanted to equip it with a UPS to prevent the hard disk from accidentally booming due to a power failure. After looking at the mainstream recommendations on the Internet, there are two: 1. APC BK650M2 2. SANTEK TG-BOX 850 Because you may not be at home when the power is cut off, I want to find one that supports the automatic shutdown function within 1 minute of UPS power supply. I searched and found that MacOS natively supports this function, but I saw other OPs on the site saying that this function does not seem to work normally... ([https://www.v2ex.com/t/868269] (https://www.v2ex.com/t/868269)) Any V friends who have used these two UPS can share their experience, thanks to 🙏

    I am using BK650M2, but it is used on nas, with router and optical modem, which is ok. But it may not work if you use mac to test it

    @ Anonymous6520 # 1 Thanks for sharing, I mainly want to see if it can support MacOS's delayed automatic shutdown after power failure

    Does @ Anonymous8376 need to install additional software? Under mac environment.

    Xianyusou apc br1200g cn can be directly identified by plugging in the signal cable. It supports automatic shutdown of macos. If you don't have a battery, you can find one below 300. You have two 12v 9ah batteries yourself, or two external 12v 20ah batteries for electric bicycles. battery. It doesn't cost more than 600.
