Any data corruption or hardware damage from an unexpected blackout implies defective and totally improperly designed hardware.

Many assume unexpected power loss can damage a disk drive or its data. When does a disk drive first learn about power loss? When 5 or 12 volts start dropping to zero. All disk drives see a normal shutdown or unexpected township wide power loss as same. Data loss only occurred with and because of an obsolete file systems such as FAT.

Rly? It's always a good idea to let Windows go thru the shutdown process B4 switching off the PC, even in Windows 10, so it can properly close all programs running in the background, and stop the HDD. Beginning with Windows XP, Microsoft included the option to have Windows start the shutdown process simply by pressing your PC's power button.
