Can anyone please recommend a relatively cheap UPS that is supported under FreeNAS. I just want the UPS to be able to power the system for about 30 seconds (making sure all writes are done) and then signal FreeNAS to shutdown. Here is the hardware it will be powering:

Norco RPC-4220 Case
Core2quad (Q6600) + MB
2 LSI SAS1068E controller cards
Up to 20-22 hard drives (Its a mixture some green drives and some 7200 drives)
550W Power Supply
Intel Gigabit NIC
Cheap ATI Video Card

I have never bought a UPS before so i have no idea how big of a UPS would be required to keep my system up and running for the short time that i noted above. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Ncage
 
I use 255watt UPS for the server in my sig, though a bigger model might be needed for your system.

As long as it has a USB/Serial/Ethernet cable from the battery to the system it is protecting, you can program it to shut down.

Mine is compatible with Ubuntu, OS X, and every version of Windows, so you should be ok. Just double check the compatibility.

30 seconds is easy to do for a 400watt+ UPS, so anything higher and you will be fine.

So something like this:
