Surge protectors

Plugging your drive's power supply into a surge protector instead of directly into a household outlet will help to protect the power supply and drive from electrical surges. Belkin Components manufactures a wide range of surge protection devices. Their SurgeStrip is a general-purpose surge protector designed for use with sensitive electronic devices. Their SurgeMaster II, designed for desktop computers and office equipment, offers greater protection and more features.

The products listed here are for use only indoors and in dry locations. They have the following specifications in common:
