Power Loss Protected SSD

Any ssd with power loss protection?
I'm looking for one with Capacity: 120gb - 180gb and Price: <100 euro.

Thanks in advance!

The only ones I know of are high capacity, and hundreds (or thousands) of dollars (euros in your case). Someone will come along that knows more than me tho.

The only ssd out there that claims to have power loss protection is the WD green 120gb (and 240gb if someone interested) for less than 100 euros / dollars, but i'm not sure if that true. Here ( https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=17070 ) is the wedsite that claims so.

Also, i'm not interested in high performance as i'm going to use it in an old system with SATA 2 port.

Wouldn't investing in a UPS be a better option?

With a UPS you are not protected. You are protected against power failures but you are not protected against unexpected power-loss. The difference is that all loss of power without a prior STANDBY IMMEDIATE command, counts as unexpected power-loss. This includes pressing the reset button, restarting from the BIOS, crashes/bluescreens and even tidy shutdowns are known to cause this by bad power-off timing.
