Well packed in box; simple to remove and attach rackmount adapters. Very secure mounting in rack - I currently have three reverse-mounted and they feel quite stable. LCD panel is highly informative - shows current load and estimated runtime off battery, as well as battery charge state and voltage information. During power outage, performs exactly as expected: keeps servers up (for approximately 20 minutes at half-load). All servers tested run Gentoo Linux with NUT, and the USB connection correctly interacts with the Linux system to shut down the servers before power loss occurs.

The BMC is a little clunky, but very helpful. I can't see myself getting another server that doesn't have it.

much quicker nas than my ds223 have the option to have a warm spare quiet

It was the exact battery for my unit. Slid it in, plugged the battery in, closed the case, plugged the UPS into the wall. That was it.

Easy to set up, small metal enclosure. Stays very cool even with servers running through all the ports. Works as expected with good speeds.

easy to set up

Nice inexpensive KVM switch. Switches quickly. No extra cables to purchase. I particularly like the remote switch. Eliminates the need to route all the cables up to the desk top. I mounted the switch on the top edge of my keyboard where it's easy to reach. Works great with Linux.

The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.

* Lots of potential for storage. 28 PCIe lanes is huge at this price point. * IPMI is so convenient for running a headless system. * Fits plenty of potential in a small form factor. 4 built in SATA ports plus 2 M.2 sockets. 7 fan headers. M.2 doesn't compete with PCIe for lanes. All awesome.

Works as expressed.

- Great packaging, fast delivery.

HID compliant USB port (necessary for MAC power management) Affordable on-line power delivery (zero lag time with power outages) Additional batteries can be added Smart card expandable for online monitoring of system conditions

Length: it's shorter than others so it will mount fine in 2 post racks using included heavy-duty mounting brackets. Price: excellent value for your dollar. Tons of features you would not expect for a device under $1000. Quiet: does not make a horrible racket like other UPS in its class. Just a periodic chirp and light fan sound. Powerful: 20A means you can put more load on it and it will charge faster.


Easy setup Clean looking Easy management



Very nice case. I set out with the intention of building a somewhat portable video editing workstation. I was debating between a 3U and a 4U. With the gtx980ti, a 4U would be minimum. It has room to spare with the length of the card. Not much, but some. The height is just enough for the card. Very sturdy construction and heavy. Almost wish it was a little less sturdy to get shave off some weight for transporting, but I knew it would be heavy with everything I was planning on installing. I got the ASUS X99-M WS mATX, but it could handle a bigger board. Seems to be able to handle just about any type of power supply. I put in the EVGA 220-GS-0850-V1 80 PLUS GOLD 850W without a problem. I love the look of the case, and all of the 3.5 and 5.25 drive areas are fairly easy to add and update.


Packaged great and DVD is spotless and worked perfectly.
