Same here.  It's critical in my neighborhood, where I get spikes or brown-outs fairly consistently.  My APCs beep when they feel an interruption, and I hear several a day.

I may have achieved overkill, but I have my main rig on three separate supplies: one for my MacPro, one for my 8-drive RAID, and one for everything else.  I'm a safety man.

Small price to pay for not having to recover from continual power interruptions.

BTW, with an 8-drive SAS RAID, I don't feel the need for SSD.  I get around 2G/s io, which is what I use for my Adobe caches, ftg, etc.  I only reboot when I have to, so start-up times off an internal HD isn't killing me.  And with 32G RAM, I don't need SSD as much for faster VM swaps.  

However, I think my next laptop will definitely have SSD in it.  I can see the advantage there.

Perhaps wise to plan on a UPS.
