[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1796471, member: 396914"] Yes, a UPS is a battery backup to the mains. I cannot tell you if that particular unit you said you have now will work because I don't know what you have plugged into it. The sum total off all devices needs to be below the 700W rating. And yes, if that UPS has sufficient remaining capacity, it can protect the external hard drive. What you linked to will not provide the right power for an external drive powered from the mains.
