I just got back from the club and mid-set, the power bar that my USB hub was plugged into cut out. More specifically, it cuts out and then back in, in about a split second. The problem with that is my external harddrive which houses all my songs loses its connection to the system, and everything just goes haywire until I restart (I can't just plug it back into the hub as it seems to only be detected upon booting).
Anyway just trust me I have all my USB plugs set up as best as possible (some devices aren't recognized if plugged in through the hub and so require a direct connection / others are through the hub).
Long story short, I was wondering if there's a power bar that would prevent this sort of thing from happening in the event of a very brief power failure...

I have a really good one. I'll check the brand when I get home. But still, I just got it at Best Buy, so I think you can find them anywhere.

Will have to be careful not to cross the streams, but I'm sure that won't be a problem at my night!
