Does this UPS work with FreeNAS? Trying to find a reasonably priced UPS. Do all the smart series UPS from APC?

That's what I use.

FreeNAS user since 2011 - - Currently Running, TrueNAS 12.0-U7 on one server at home and five at work.

This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build. This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. Eight systems in ten years... I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two...
For a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online.
The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. For a home NAS, this chassis is huge, able to hold 48 data drives and two boot drives with a couple spaces internally for non-hot-swap drives...

I use it too.

There's a trick to the driver unless you attach the USB to the FreeNAS directly (I'm attaching the USB to my pfSense firewall box and connecting it via a driver to FreeNAS x 3 and some other OS machines on the network). It works well once it's running.

Aiming to mostly replicate the build from @Stux (with some mods, hopefully around about as good as that link)

4 xSamsung 850 EVO Basic (500GB, 2.5") - - VMs/Jails
1 xASUS Z10PA-D8 (LGA 2011-v3, Intel C612 PCH, ATX) - - Dual socket MoBo
~~2 xWD Green 3D NAND (120GB, 2.5") - - Boot drives (maybe mess around trying out the thread to put swap here too link)~~
1 x Kingston UV400 120GB SSD - boot drive (hit the 3D NAND/TRIM bug with the original WD green selection, failing scrub and showing as corrupted OS files) Decided to go with no mirror and use the config backup script
2 xIntel Xeon E5-2620 v4 (LGA 2011-v3, 2.10GHz) - - 8 core/16 threads per Chip
2 xNoctua NH-U9S (12.50cm)
1 xCorsair HX1200 (1200W) - PSU to support 24 HDD + several SSD and PCI cards
4 xKingston Value RAM (32GB, DDR4-2400, ECC RDIMM 288)
2 xNoctua NF-A8 PWM Premium 80mm PC Computer Case Fan
~~3 xNoctua NF-F12 PWM Cooling Fan~~
3 xNoctua NF-F12 PPC 3000 PWM (120mm) * having noted later in Stux's thread that 1500 RPM is not sufficient to cool the HDDs. Corsair Commander Pro to control the fans (see script and code)
1 xNORCO 4U Rack Mount 24 x Hot-Swappable SATA/SAS 6G Drive Bays Server Rack mount RPC-4224
6 xCableCreation Internal Mini SAS HD Cable, Mini SAS SFF-8643 to Mini SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 Cable
