[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1674706"] Harry, UPSs don't protect from inrush. Inrush is inside the device, when power is applied (turned on or plugged in, for example). UPSs can protect from surges outside the UPS, but when you press the start button, inrush happens inside the Mac. There is inrush protection on the internal circuits, but if that fails, or the inrush is high (big load on USB port, HD a little "sticky" or optical drive) that protection may not work. Leaving things powered up reduces the probability of inrush failures. [/QUOTE]
