IMHO.
I using Belkin SurgeMaster.
Recently I added a 10TB external HDD (US Import).
Whenever I power on the drive, my monitor will turn off and on.
So I use the Belkin SurgeMaster to "contain" it.

All anomalies are expected by educated consumers. Anomalies that are unexpected are called failures. Damage directly traceable to a human who fails to become educated.

Also obvious. Power surge can be hundreds of thousands of joules. Plug-in protectors only claim thousands joule protection. Near zero. Plug-in protectors are sufficient to protect profit margins; not appliances.

Humans who are educated (learn facts and numbers), instead, earth one 'whole house' protector. Then a potentially destructive surge (an anomaly) was both expected and made harmless. Then nobody even knew a surge existed. Then best protection from that anomaly also costs tens of times less money.

anomaly - something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.
