Last week, while I am typing a business plan, then the power was gone for few seconds.So the part I didn't save was gone too.I am thinking to buy a UPS for my pc and 24" LCD monitor.Will you buy a UPS to save your work from power shortage?
Mhh... when I work on critical stuff, I do it on a laptop. But It is a sound idea to get one for your pc. Just looked on amazon, they sell small ones for around 60$ that have a battery of 30 minutes. Enough time to safe critical data.
A PC is complete only when you have a UPS for it. Go on and buy a double battery UPS so that it works for 20 to 30 mins without any problem even during power cut.
How often do you face such power outages? If you frequently face power outages or fluctuations, it would be foolish not to have a UPS.
Of course, UPS is very useful and helps our computer/our works to be safe while the power fluctuations or sudden power cut.
Maybe I'm paranoid. I've got a UPS for my computer, another one for my screen (it's big and I don't want it draining from my computer power). The computer's a laptop, so if it's UPS runs dead it's got enough time to hibernate. Then I have a separate UPS for my networking (ADSL router, switch and wireless AP) and another UPS for my print/file server. That's at home. If this were for work I'd take power management seriously. I've had to replace too many modems and computers from power surges, spikes, dips, lightning strikes etc. etc. It's well worth the investment. Look after what you have.
Yes I am working with UPS only, I am CISCO trainer so i need to coding day to day and apply it daily to router and its much long code. I need to represent it to students in all session, so i need UPS anyhow.
UPS can save our computer from power fluctuations so, i would recommend any one to have one for the desktop computers.
Yes i , be'cause it saves your system from sudden shut down while on power lose. and it will help u too store or save your valuable data.
I have a UPS from APC that I bought from my dealer the same time I bought my computer. I think people who use their computers for work or business needs to have a good and reliable UPS, it will be our fail-safe in case something like power shortage happens while we’re in the middle of doing something important.
Why ? I am using high configuration laptop . 6 hours battery backup. My suggestion for you ,please use IPS not UPS.
