| 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.
