The plugs are aligned in such a way, that most wall-warts can be used with it, without one crowding out the other. I use this to power my guitar stomp boxes in my home studio. Each stomp-box has their own wall-wart/converter. I am able to run 6 pedals with no crowding, with 2 slots to spare. The Belkin is also built really well, with a long (8'), thick power cord. It is a heavy duty strip. The built-in 2500 joule' surge suppressor is more than adequate for most needs as well, offering good protection for any electronics plugged into the strip. I expect years of trouble-free use.

Loaded up VMware ESXi 8.x ISO via Remote KVM IPMI and installed without an issue for an Asrock AMD R9 5900X build.

Very fast. Did I mention it is fast. My CPU is fast, but this allows my CPU to not do any RAID parity calculations. Also, this has 1 GB onboard cache which does help with some file transfers. I mainly need fast sequential reads/writes with large files. Supports PCIe 3.0 and backwards compatible, which is good because Sandy Bridge CPUs do not support PCIe 3.0 :-( Future proof as these support 12 Gb/sec or excess of 1.2 GB/s if you have PCIe 3.0. My HDDs are too slow to take advantage of the speed, but it has helped in the RAID 5 though. The SSDs on it are insane.

Nice build quality, decent fit and finish, reasonable beveled edges. No sharp bits to get cut on.

Easy install Adds extra front IO Allowed me to keep my PCs ability to play DVDs while also adding a U.2 hotswap bay Comes with Sata adapter for the laptop dvd slot

cheap, does the job



I work in music recording/mixing studio environments and am extremely fussy about equipment that generates noise. I'm pleased to say that after several months of continuous use, this Li-Ion APC rack unit met and possibly exceeded expectations. When in ideal conditions, the unit is literally silent. No fan noise, no hum, no buzz. The only time noise has been observed is either when the unit is charging (due to a power failure) where very minimal self-noise is inevitable, or in an under-voltage condition (117V or under) where the internal circuitry activates in order to boost the output voltage. In comparison to APC's own legacy units (ie: 2U 750VA-1500VA lead acid monsters) which I have been using for over 15 years - they had frequent noticeable cooling fan noise, and could produce undesirable self-noise when approaching maximum load. And anecdotally, I have had one or two units fail over the years and drop the load.


Easy set up for a NAS backup power supply....just plug in and energize.


Small, sturdy design Nice looking face plate


2.5Gb Network with 2 Nics. Easy to add drives, mine 3 drives are 5600RPM IronCore in a RAID 5. I also have 2 Teamgroup 1TB sticks for an SSD cache. My network switch is a 2.5Gbps non-managed. 2 ports for NAS and 2 ports for 2 XPS PCs. I am getting 4Gbps when doing 2 Diskmark tests simultaneously to my NAS hosted USB (2TB QVO). Im gettin a little better than 2Gbps when communicating to the RAID 5 array. I feel pretty confident that 7200RPM drives in a 4 Disk array would perform more optimal.

It's a great CPU, being AM5 allows for many cooling options, and a TDP of 65W means you can get away with a small cooler.

- M.2SSD and 10GBE in one card - Performance - Ease of installation - Heat sink


Fits perfectly inside the CyberPower UPS battery compartment and everything is identical to the original battery pack that came with the UPS. but at least 50% less expensive. I have had it since I purchased it about a year ago and it has failed me yet and has been working like the original battery package.
