Keep an External NAS Drive Running During Power Cuts
Summary
In r/Lebanon, a community member asks how to keep a 3.5-inch external hard drive enclosure powered during electricity cuts while backing up data to a future 10 TB NAS drive. The discussion covers connecting its adapter to an Eaton 5E 850i UPS with IEC C13 sockets and finding a suitable converter plug.
How do I keep it on
I have this 3.5 inch external hard disk case. Later on in the future I am considering buying a 10 tb nas disk and I put it in that 3.5 inch external hard disk case and then I will connect it to my laptop so that I can backup my data on it.
The problem is that I have to connect the 3.5 inch external hard disk case to the electricity so that I can use it. If the electricity cut while I was using the 3.5 inch external hard disk case then it will switch off. I don't want that to happen. How do I keep it on when the electricity cuts?
I have an Eaton 5e 850i ups which looks like this. It has 4 IEC C13 sockets on the back. I am thinking about connecting the adapter plug of the 3.5 inch external hard disk case to the ups but I will need a converter plug. Does anyone know where I can buy it?
