Of course, take that with a pinch of salt, because you *also* risk data
corruption with any disk medium which isn't at least battery-backed
RAID, even if the machine as a whole is on a UPS, and how many of us
have one of those?

In practice if you keep reasonable backups, that sort of disk corruption
is vanishingly rare.
