But with modern hard drives and SSD's at most you loose the last thing you tried to save.

I've got my setup running on a 1500VA UPS, considering what's plugged into it cost ~$3,300, seemed pretty stupid not to spend the $120 to make sure something dumb like a power surge wont fuck it all up.

I even have 3 of these bad boys.
Side note: since UPS on all my boxes, no more HDD failure.
