Still Wakes The Deep - Result: Absolutely fuckaw.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Result: Regret starting this pointless experiment.

Alien: Isolation - Result: Just glad this is over, to be honest.

Oh yes absolutely, spinny disks can be more temperamental if they lose power, although it's not super duper common especially nowadays; I've been lucky, I think I've never had any of mine get borked like that over the past >30y.

But yeah in comparison incomplete writes on SSD are pretty mild as far as potential problems go, at least on sane file systems
