Wow, all got really heated there...
I say, be aware that it's 'possible' you could get corruption when writing, but it's possible you could get corruption when doing any kind of firmware update (e.g. updating your smartphone etc). It's a small risk for the extra benefits.
I always worry about power failures as that can really bugger up hard disks and will definitely brick an MPC that's going through a firmware update, so run all my gear through
this UPS.
