Apparently #consumergrade #SSDs do not actually do anything to make their volatile write-cache safe.

What kind of asshole decided this was a good idea? Fucking infrastructural privilege assumptions.

As it turns out, yes, a *lot* of consumergrade SSDs will lose flushed data on a power outage.

So that means unless one has the privilege to be able to afford a UPS or enterprise SSDs, one otherwise has to disable the cache (promptly getting rid of most of the performance).

Hardware designers, much like software designers, should be required to live in underprivileged shitholes before releasing anything intended for wide public use.
