Power problems can be both stealthy and deadly.
Years ago I had a desktop with a 4-disk RAID 5 where the SSDs failed in quick succession, it's common. I lost some data-- or rather recovered files manually I think from a failed RAID and cold backup, switched to spinning disks, but after a while the new disks started beeping and generating RAID errors.
After much time and anxious guessing, I swapped the power supply and never had a problem since.
