I think what you wanted was a surge protector.
Unless you experience a lot of power outages.

And as for the sine wave thing.
It's hard to find a good Pure Sine Wave generator, or converter..which is what this is.
So I would imagine, they are not putting out a pure sine wave. idk...

Either way, unless you lose power all the time, a surge protector is probably what you need.

I wanted a UPS for the uninterrupted power aspect should someone trip the cable or the power goes out. My wife unplugged my NAS once to plug in her hairdryer and it took forever to rebuild the RAID.

I don't use RAM caching for writing to my SSDs (my PC seems fast enough) but I'd rather not have the risk of data loss or corruption just over something trivial like a power outage.

As for pure sine wave generator, I just remember reading that a decent UPS will help but if you're the kind of person who needs something very specific for your use case, then good luck as I'm sure it won't come cheap.
