Read more.A new hardware and firmware-based power failure protection system for SSDs is detailed.
It's not just data loss but a loss of confidence in the device; the concern that when you start using it again it'll be flaky and liable to fall over again at any moment. I'm just reinstalling Windows after a power-down glitch made my SSD randomise the sectors in the registry (as well as all other recently written files). I agree that more manufacturers need to address this issue and, Samsung, I hope you're reading this as you're not my favourite bunny at the moment.
Sounds similar to battery backed RAID array cards, designed to provide a safe buffer zone if the main PC power is terminated. I'd certainly be happier if this technology was more widespread.

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
Sounds like they've re-invented the supercaps used in enterprise Sandforce drives, allowing RAM-cached writes to be committed after power loss.
Had this issue while writing my dissertation. I've lost like a chapter... I would love to see this solution widely available!
The implementation is obvious, so really the question is whether the cost of the implementation is worth it to you. On a laptop, I'm much less likely to suffer sudden power loss, so I guess zero point in this for me.
