I agree, a sledge hammer applied to the HD could also cause irreparable
harm; however, the subject of this thread referred to 'power outages'.
The use of UPS, RAID, backups, etc. all tend to insure the safety of
data. In this case, the OP only referenced 'power outages'.

something to die for.  The problem is, they usually want the rest of us
to die for it too.
