5 out of 5 stars Works.......2007-09-09

I have a PC, a 17" and a 19" monitor and a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard plugged into this unit. It tells me that I have 16 minutes of battery backup, which is fine for saving a document and shutting down the system. It also tells when it kicked in last and why. ("Line noise" is the only reason so far, after a month.) It was easy to set up.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent home/workstation UPS..........2007-08-02

After a recent series of storms here in Tucson, my apartment suffered a series of brownouts and a 15 minute blackout. I had three computers (a Windows PC, a PowerMac G5, and a Linux PC) and a 19" LCD monitor all plugged into a single APC Back-UPS 1000 that's a few years old. I've been cheap and haven't bothered keeping up with replacing the battery in it, so when the power failed the UPS couldn't keep up with the load, and shut down.

Clearly, I needed more UPSs for my computers, as running all three off of a single UPS was simply not suitable.

After doing some research, I decided on getting several BE650Rs from a local vendor as I needed them immediately. The units are reasonably compact, considering they have a chunky battery and various circuits inside. Each unit will supply 650VA or 390 watts of power, which is more than adequate for an average home computer and monitor -- I used a Kill-A-Watt meter to figure out what the load from each of the computers would be, and they're all well within the limits of the UPS.

Setup was a breeze -- connecting the battery wire was easy, and it fit back into its compartment without any complaint. The plug has the cord emerging parallel to the wall and facing "southeast" if "north" is straight up. This is ideal for cable routing, as the cord is not sticking straight out from the wall with more traditional plugs.

The unit can protect against surges from several sources: electrical power outlets, coaxial cable (cable modem, cable TV, etc.), telephone/DSL lines and ethernet (you can protect telephone/DSL lines *or* ethernet, but not both at once, as the both plug into the same jack on the UPS). The UPS comes with a short length of both coaxial cable and one-line telephone cord for making the connection easy. I connected my cable internet connection through the UPS and it does not cause any problems with the cable signal -- I still get high speed internet access, and I rest easier knowing my systems are protected from surges on the cable network.

The unit comes with APC's PowerChute Personal Edition software, but I generally find it unnecessary. It connects to the computer with a USB cable (it has a USB plug that fits into the computer, but the other end is an RJ-45 plug similar to an ethernet plug, and fits into a special socket on the UPS). Both Mac OS X and Windows XP automatically recognize the UPS when connected by USB, and I find the operating system's respective power management controls to be better than APC's software. I advise simply not installing PowerChute, but instead just using the options available through your operating system. For Windows, I advise having the system "hibernate" rather than shut down -- by hibernating, the system's current state is saved and the computer is shut down and uses no power; there's no need to save documents before shutting down, as the whole state is saved. When you turn the hibernating computer back on, it comes back exactly as you left it. It's extremely nice to have computers gracefully and automatically shut down/hibernate when the batteries run low.

For Linux, the apcupsd daemon (developed by a third party, not APC, and also available for Windows, Mac OS, and other systems) communicates with the BE650R via USB and can be configured to send notifications, shut down the computer, and perform other actions when the power fails. It also allows one to query the unit for more detailed information reported by the UPS -- percent load, line voltage, and other handy stuff.

Runtime for each of my computers is about 13 minutes or so, not including the monitor (which is on a separate UPS), though this can vary somewhat. It's certainly adequate for a system to gracefully shut down without data loss or damage.

I conducted some impromptu testing (flipping the circuit breaker for the outlet the UPSs are plugged into) and all the units switched immediately, and all the attached computers continued operating smoothly. All the units communicated properly with their computers, which all correctly indicated they were running on batteries. When certain criteria were reached (25% battery left, in my case) the computers all correctly shut down or hibernated in accordance with my settings.

This UPS was designed primarily to allow for the attached computer to gracefully shut down following a power outage, rather than provided extended uptime (such as would be necessary for a server, for example). While it can certainly allow one to continue working through short outages, brownouts, and so forth, it would behoove the user to save documents and shutdown the computer as soon as possible after the power fails. To prolong battery life, only absolutely necessary devices (computer, monitor, any external disk drives, etc.) should be connected to the battery-supplied outlets. Devices like speakers and printers should be connected to the surge protected outlets (due to their very high power consumption, laser printers should never be connected to the battery-supplied outlets but are fine on the surge protected outlets).

This unit is mainly targeted toward the home user, and doesn't offer some of the advanced features of more expensive units -- there's not automatic voltage regulation, display screens, and so forth. Instead, the unit provides affordable protection against surges, brownouts, power failures, and similar bad things while giving the computer enough time to save documents and shut down cleanly.

Be sure to read the equipment protection policy and make sure your equipment is all wired properly or else the equipment protection policy is void. Look for "backdoor" opportunities for surges to damage your system -- even if your computer is connected to the UPS, you need to be sure that telephone lines, cable, ethernet, and other devices that are connected to the computer are similarly protected from power surges using APC equipment.

I've spent years working at telecom and internet-related communications companies and I use only APC power-protection products on my servers, home computers, television, and other sensitive electronics. Don't skimp on quality when you're protecting valuable equipment and data -- APC equipment may be a few dollars more expensive than competitors, but it's very high quality stuff backed by a solid company.

/I do not presently work nor ever worked for APC or any affiliated company.
//I'm just a very satisfied customer who's owned several APC products over the years.

5 out of 5 stars Works well.......2007-07-08

I have several comments in various categories:

1) Other reviews: If you want more than four backup outlets, for heaven's sake, use a power strip plugged into the UPS. No big deal!

As to the surge protection; the unit certainly CLAIMS to offer surge protection on all 8 outlets (no battery on 4 of them). I have had no experience one way or the other.

I had no problem connecting the battery wire. Maybe they fixed the problem.

2) Software: Be aware that the PC version of PowerChute is considerably more full-featured than the Mac version, and that for an Intel Mac you must download a new version (and make an account with APS to get it, though it is free). I could not get PowerChute to do anything useful on my Mac Mini. However, both Windows XP and OS X 10.4 supports this UPS out of the box.

3) Mac OS X support. The native support should be nice, but it did not work well for me. You can tell it to shutdown after n minutes on battery (or when there are n minutes of power left or when there is n% power left) and you can also tell it to power back on when AC is restored. It did not do this for me. It shut down into some indeterminite state (unusable but drawing power) at the specified time and did not come back on power up. I think this is an OS X problem or maybe my own config problem, nothing against the UPS.

4) By default, the UPS can drive you nuts during a power failure. While it is supplying power it beeps every 30 seconds. And it beeps repeatedly when the battery reaches full discharge. My computer room is near the bedroom. Need I say more? We had a power failure at night within a few days of the time I installed it. Luckily, if you install PowerChute on a PC, you can program the UPS not to beep. It took me a while to determine this, but there are quite a few options (unclear which are UPS settings and which are software settings) on the PC version.

5) My speakers came with my HP LCD monitor and are powered by it. If I have the LCD on battery, the speakers make a buzzing noise. Not surprising that the UPS does not put out as pure a sine-wave as the power company, I suppose. It does not bother me, but you should know about it if you want to use the unit for audio applications.

Hope this helps...

5 out of 5 stars It works like it should.......2007-07-03

I got one of these for each workstation at the office. I ran a test on the station. I plugged in a 19" CRT monitor, desktop, and laser printer into the battery backup outlets. First there was not an overload on the UPS, so that was good. I unplugged the fully charged battery from the wall and got about 15 minutes of run time. This is more than ample time for the user to save work, so I think this UPS perfectly did its job.

1 out of 5 stars No surge protection.......2007-06-26

I bought this to protect my new PC that I bought just last week. We had an electrical storm today. My motherboard is now toast. I only saw one other person in the Amazon reviews talk about this experience (probably b/c electrical spikes of this magnitude don't happen every day).

If you buy this unit, be sure to buy a good surge protector. It may do the battery backup part OK, but don't make the same mistake as me and rely on it for surge protection.

        2 out of 5 stars Not reliable enough for me........2007-07-02

        If your power goes out often, it might be worth buying this unit, as that part of it does work. However, in my use I found that it caused far more system crashes, than it protected me from. Details below:

        I installed this system (Model BE650R) new around February 2006. It worked well for about 8 months, through a couple of power outages. In October 2006 though it started momentarily switching off the power, so that my systems would crash. After about 5 system crashes this way, I realized it was the APC supply that was doing this. I called customer support and after a couple of interactions, a technician walked me though a lot of settings that control when the unit's power supply switches in. The firmware that resides in the unit is quite complex, so in reality it's a separate computer monitoring the power line supply and battery levels.

        Anyway, it worked ok until March 2007, when it would simply shut off and not work causing several more system crashes. I took it out of the system for a couple months, then decided to give it another try. APC sent me a new backup unit on 6/10 which I installed. The first day I happened to have a power outage, so was very pleased I had followed through. However, the 2nd day, the APC started beeping, indicating power was off. However, it wasn't! Even though there was power to every other appliance, it acted like it was getting no power, and eventually shut down.

        So, for my purposes the trouble using it just isn't worth the hassle. Each interaction with customer support is a major time hassle plus there are significant costs sending units back since it's so heavy.

        Customer support was excellent and they do stand behing their product.

                  1 out of 5 stars Memorex 32MB CF intermittent.......2004-05-27

                  I've used this in two Kodak cameras and various MP3 players, all have had frequent problems reading/writing to this card. I've sent it in to Memorex for a replacement and found the new unit with identical problems. Memorex still does not admit to there being any problem with their cards. Do not get this card!

                  Amazingly enough, I got frustrated enough to find a workaround when the CF fails to read. Simply remove it from your device for anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes, then reinstall it and see if you can now retrieve your data. Nine out of 10 times this works for me. Apparently, having it sitting idle with no power attached seems to temporarily resolve the problem. I've used it for a year like this and have always been able to play my MP3s...after a few minutes of waiting. Your mileage may vary.

                  Again, DO NOT GET THIS CARD!

                  1 out of 5 stars well, there goes my whole vacation!.......2002-12-21

                  I got my photos off of this card once. Once. The second time I went to get pictures off, 60% of the files on the card were corrupted. That would be 60% of my vacation photos, completely vanished. Tantalizingly enough, the filenames were still (sort of) visible, but there was no way of restoring the corrupted files.

                  So, I wiped the disk, thinking I could at least use it for data transfer from my laptop to computers at work. No go. Everything I put on it is corrupted or otherwise unreadable when I try to retrieve it.

                  Oddly enough, the no-name 8MB card that came with my camera has served perfectly for two full years of file transfers in the camera, in my PCM-CIA adapter, in any situation. Not so the Memorex card. It's been over six months since I bought it (not from Amazon, but you can bet I'll use Amazon next time, if only for the helpful reviews!), so I don't think I can get a store refund, but I'm definitely trying to get a refund from Memorex!

                  2 out of 5 stars Slowww..........2001-07-08

                  I have the 128M version of this card. It does not work at all in my high-end digital camera. The card must be the slowest, oldest technology on the market.

                  ...I finally just through it away.

                  1 out of 5 stars Slow, malfunctioning piece of junk.......2001-06-14

                  Even if this were the cheapest Compact Flash card available, I'd avoid it. I've tested it in many devices, including several digital cameras, my PDA, MP3 player, and my PC (with adapter). The MP3 player didn't treat it any differently than any other card, but my digital camera clearly operates more slowly with this card installed. When I loaned the card to my friend so he could take more pictures when he went on vacation, we were very nearly unable to transfer the pictures off the card. 3 card readers were unable to read the card, and I eventually had to install the camera's software and use its included cable to get the pictures off the camera. Another friend's camera wouldn't read the card AT ALL.

                  I thought the card was defective, so I returned it and got another one...with the same results. Some cameras won't read it, some read it slowly (some work with no problems).

                  If you don't have any other brands of CF cards to compare this one to, you may not realize how deficient it is. Trust me. I own 4 or 5 brands of memory cards, and have used them in over a dozen electronics devices, and the Memorex Compact Flash performed the worst.

                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent Storage Device for All Your Needs.......2000-12-04

                  The Memorex 32MB compact flash card is perfect for use in PDA's, digital cameras, MP3 players, or any of the latest electronic products that can use it. I use mine for storing extra songs on my MP3 player. Download to the card takes only seconds per song and doubles the capacity of my 32MB device.

                  The card is also great for use in digital camaras where you need extra storage space but don't want to break your bank account on a larger card. It's great for adding storage space a little at a time as you can afford it.

                  If you need extra memory with your PDA, the Memorex card is ideal. Are you a salesrep traveling to your "big meeting" or an accountant with a large database of figures? This card can offer you that extra bit of memory to store all those facts and figures that need room for. Perfect for storing those really large programs that just don't quite fit within the realm of your PDA.

                  So pick one (or more) up today! You'll be glad you did. If you are anything like me, you're probably sick of having to run back to your desktop to swap out files everytime you run out of room on your little "toy." With the Memorex 32MB compact flash card, at least you won't have to do AS much of that file swappin'.
