the whole point of a BBU is that you can turn on write back caching -
and get a fair win in write performance on regular tasks.
You can turn on write back caching if you have a UPS as well
(provided your UPS is wired into your system for a graceful shutdown)
UPS isnt going to help in cases where something breaks on the inner side
( psu fail, mobo fail, ram blows up etc ).
But, I am with Ross on this one - if its just a desktop machine, it
might be well worth doing a bit of RTFM, and setting up a md-raid/lvm
volume and be done with it.
