APC UPS - BN600U1 vs BE600M1

[gorosap]

Hello,

What is the difference between the model # BN600U1 vs BE600M1?

I have having trouble deciding which one to get. We need it for our Synology NAS (to safely shut down within 5-10 minutes of a power outage).

The both look identical besides the slight price variation (although BN600U1 is about 25% cheaper and on sale at a local store).

BE600M1 seems more popular and on the Synology "compatibility" list despite them both being the same.

Is there any subtle variation that would make me buy one over the other?

Thank you!

Hi-  Did you ever make a choice and choose one of these options?  I have the same need for my home synology unit!  Any experience you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I went with BN600U1. They are both essentially the same. One is for the retail market in retail packaging, and the other sold as OEM in a different package. The one I got works great for synology and also ugreen NAS. I do not have any other devices on it. I assume both these units would work just fine for any low powered devices such as networking gear or NAS.
