No need to be around during a power failure, the downloaded software wiill automatically shut down your desktop saving you from a hard drive crash

I have a system with quad core, multiple LCD monitors, external hard drives, etc.

I have a desktop with a printer, scanner and several external hard drives.

There is enough space between the outlets that you actually can hook up all those units with their sometimes bulky plug-ins (especially some external hard drives which use power converters).I also like the compact and lightweight design, because space is at a premium in my home office

The size is more than sufficient to power my NAS, router, cable modem, and USB hard drive.

I've since "solved" this by plugging the external hard drives into the standard outlet side so that they are not on the

2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive which fit nicely all into the battery side

This standby UPS provides 3 battery backed up power sockets (1 for the PC and 2 for my external USB hard drives), plus 3 surge protected (only) power sockets for power supplies for recharging my cell phone, etc

I have a laptop with docking station, an external hard drive, a monitor, a printer, a desk lamp, and a digital voice recorder dock all running through the unit (some, like the printer, dictator and the lamp with surge protection only), and there's no strain on the unit

great product that allows enough time to boot up the computer, external hard drive and monitor, and then shut it off.

If you have external hard drive that constantly runs you need one of these to make sure your HD doesn`t break when power goes out while it`s operating.

Also have an older one on a 5 terabyte hard drive for security camera storage.

I just replaced 2 pcs with fried hard drives after a power surge in the area.

I have my PC, the Monitor, the printer and one of my external hard drives hooked up to the powered outlets

All the drives lost power, unmounted from my computer desktop, and one drive appears damaged since it was in the middle of writing data

, so this has saved my hard drive several times

I have my laptop, an external hard drive and led light plugged in and all is well

I use it only to protect my NAS drive which draws miniscule.

I got tired of my hard-drives being damaged by this.

I run a Mac Mini along with an external hard drive RAID array off of the battery backup outlets on the unit
