Is UPS required when using the WD My Book HDD 4 TB with a MacBook Air M4?
Hi,
I want to connect to MacBook Air M4 via the Ugreen dock
an external monitor: BENQ 27-inch 2K, and an external drive: Western Digital 4TB My Book Desktop HDD 3.5" with 12V adapter
This setup will mainly be used for watching movies in the highest quality possible
The monitor is for display, and the 4 TB drive is for storing movies in Blu-ray
Is buying a UPS necessary for using the WD My Book HDD 4 TB?
Given that a power outage sometimes happens
Not necessary. You can roll the dice and perhaps your data will last.
Ideal? Definitely.
Besides a UPS, you shouldn't rely on just one copy of vital information.
Your My Book should only be included in your overall storage plan.
Performing actual backups across several physical devices is also crucial.
