Anyone tried this for syncing the ATX power of a DIY DAS? (zerobytes.monster)

I'm thinking of putting some hard drives in an old ATX case and then getting a SAS HBA for my current server to connect them to. It sounds like this little guy would sync the PSU in that old case with my primary PSU. Comments say they sync shutdown too.

I have this server on a UPS that's helped it gracefully shut down during outages, so I want to have my DAS hard drives shut down too. Would this do what I want?

If not, would it be safe to use a manual switch like this:

In the event of an outage, when my server shuts down but the second PSU doesn't cut power to the drives, is that still safe?
