I wish reviews started taking reliability into account. The only report on power loss effects on actual hardware I could find is from 2014 [0]. http://lkcl.net

  That article said back in the day > Right now, there is only one reliable SSD manufacturer: Intel. Indeed I find it very hard to figure out for other vendors whether they have power loss protection or not. Intel makes this easy to check: Each drive has a YES/NO for "Enhanced Power Loss Data Protection" which is described as > ... prepares the SSD for unexpected system power loss by minimizing data in transition in temporary buffers, and uses on-board power-loss protection capacitance to provide enough energy for the SSD firmware to move data from the transfer buffer and other temporary buffers to the NAND, thus protecting system and user data. They also have a list showing all Intel SSDs that have this feature: https://ark.intel.com/Search/FeatureFilter?productType=solidstatedrives&EPLDP=true https://ark.intel.com/Search/FeatureFilter?productType=solid... Would be nice if other vendors had that too.
