BBU is good and would protect from power loss (like someone pulling the plug) where a UPS would not be able to do anything.
Yes, it plugs into a SATA port. You have to set a jumper to designate what Raid you want (o, 1, none).
*** None would require a Port Multiplier which is not really recommended.
I have used them for years in other systems of mine and am happy with them. I went that route for the same reason as you and wanted to not take up a PCIe slot. Also, my case allows me to easily mount it inside on the fan shroud (just drilled 4 holes). There are some that I would not trust (mentioned here).
For me it is an acceptable risk, although I would not use it in an Enterprise environment.
