One of the kindest things you can do for a computer is to provide it with a clean source of power, and a battery backup that will communicate to it when it's running on battery and down to its last bit of charge so the computer can shut down gracefully. Thankfully, operating systems today are much more tolerant of sudden power loss than earlier versions of five or ten years ago -- but "more tolerant" is not the same as "impervious to." Electrical surges or voltage sags below normal levels can wreak havoc with your computer's power transformer unit. See our Power Protection Gear for more info...
- hardware failure or power surge (can no longer access your data)
- data corruption due to malware infection or software glitch (some data may still be accessible)
- fire or theft (it's simply gone)
- user error (deleted and may be recoverable)
