I have a DIY NAS build that I made about a week ago. After reading several things about data corruption on ZFS (currently using proxmox for this) via non-ecc ram and power outages, I figure if I spent the time and money, I may as well ensure everything will work as well as possible.

However, I live in an apartment and am unable to do things as efficiently due to space. Currently I have this power strip and plan on getting this UPS, then plug the power strip that my NAS is connected to in the UPS.

My average load does not exceed 70w. I think the maximum power draw id ever get close to achieving would be maybe 150-200w. I am only plugging this NAS into the UPS as well, no other devices.

Is this advisable? Or even necessary really? I have seen online people able to recover their pools even after power loss, and after reading it seems that ZFS is more resilient to power loss due to its CoW functionality.

Another (maybe safer?) option would be to get a longer power cable (around 7ft) so that it can reach the UPS at the wall. Wouldn't have to deal with any power extension cords/surge protectors here, just the UPS. Let me know what you guys think.
