I have used the APC units in the past to protect my audio gear from power outages. Spinning discs have never like to have their power stopped due to a power outage. I have had a whole house backup generator for several years now but that does take a few seconds to automatically kick in. To protect my network for those few seconds I still maintain a APC unit on my router and i5 Roon server.
Based on some discussion with some industry people some of these power protection devices can add noise back into your power lines for devices to see. Not sure how every manufacturer addresses the issue but it is something to consider. Noise just doesn't disappear.
