UPS neccessity.......????

[monsursound]

Hi,i wanted to know how much important is having a UPS???I dont need that extra 10 mins ,because i hardly work with important documents that i need to save.Apart from giving those extra 10 mins does UPS serve any other purpose???I have heard that its protects our pc from voltage fluctuations,is it true???

any pc running an os need to be properly shut down & thats the main purpose the ups serves in case of power outage u run a pc without it the most likely is that ur harddisk will be damaged also the ups protects ur pc from external overvoltages,spikes,fluctuations so it is a must for every pc otherwise be prepared to change the HDD every month
