I've never suffered any effects from power loss, but, the first time you assume that will always be the result, and have data on a drive that is precious/critical, and not backed up, it *will* be lost.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I can just see all the files corrupt or something now
generally if the drive is working when the power loss happens, that is when data corruption usually occurs. not saying it won't happen with the drive at idle but generally when drive is reading and writing is when trouble happens. sometimes it only corrupts what your working on at the moment but full data loss can (and has) happen.
backing up important data is the way to go to ensure you got a copy if something happens.
