You are my favorite person right now. Says I should get a battery back up, is it talking about the little batteries that plug directly into the board? Or a big one that plugs into the computer? It looks to be staying around 28-31MB/s!!!

Might even be the cheaper option.
Not sure if this is the correct one for your card but it seems about right.
