“Best” Power Bar?

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.

I’m not taking any chances! I actually found one of these at home, too bad it’s so big…

Does that say battery backup on the top? wicked if it is

battery backup is an absolute lifesaver. never leave home (to dj) without it!

Hmm may have look into that.
I see a few on trademe for around $200nzd. They have a usb connection and last 15 mins after a power cut. Nice

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