Intending to go for ReadyNAS Duo with 2 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda drives to serve HDX-SD.

I use an APC ES8 too. You can connect it to the ReadyNAS Duo so that the ReadyNAS monitors the UPS status and will shut itself down if the battery drops to a certain level.
There's also a handy app for the iPhone/Touch which will give you the ReadyNAS status called NASTouch.
