Xiaomi has introduced a compact uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed specifically for its NAS, which the company unveiled last month. The Xiaomi Smart Storage Power Outage Protection Power Supply is currently available in China on Xiaomi Youpin for an introductory price of 349 yuan (about $49).
Specifications
The device is designed to prevent data corruption and file loss when the power goes out. It includes a built-in 18Wh lithium-ion battery. If the main power drops, this battery keeps the connected NAS running just long enough to complete a safe, normal shutdown.
When the electricity comes back on, the UPS automatically powers the storage unit back up. This means the drive becomes accessible on your network again without you needing to manually restart it.
Setup is straightforward. The UPS uses a plug-and-play design, sitting directly between the existing power adapter and the storage device. It doesn’t require an extra USB data cable to communicate with the drive, which helps keep desktop setups tidy. The unit is compatible with original Xiaomi power adapters that deliver up to 12V/8.5A.
Xiaomi is clear that this is a single-purpose accessory. The company says the UPS is intended exclusively for its own NAS and does not recommend using it with other electronics. It’s a simple, targeted add-on for users who want basic power backup for their Xiaomi network drives.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently unveiled a new 23L Mijia backpack with smart storage compartments designed for work and travel, alongside a large-capacity 2-in-1 air purifier and humidifier capable of humidifying a room in as little as seven minutes.
