My BX750MI-GR has saved my precious data on two occasions. Earlier this year, my seven year old, well used waffle iron shorted, popping loudly and sparking quite brightly in the process, probably because of all the gunk that had accumulated inside its less cleanable interior over the years. That not only made my breaker trip, but also blew the 16 amp main fuse. The UPS kicked in immediately, making a klick and a beep, which felt amazing. That was my first time ever.
As for the second time, see this post.
Not having a UPS is like running through a cornfield with your junk hanging out.
There’s a chance a leaf or stalk will catch you just right and give you a gnarly paper cut on your genitals.
Why risk it?
Not all of us run through the cornfields. Some of us just stand in the middle of the scare for all to see our beautiful… Everything.
true story
I just seed from SSDs, so I would’ve been just fine without a UPS, but I want to keep everything running even if I make too many waffles.
Nothing would’ve prepared me for that beautiful analogy
