    I’ve had to replace 5 SSDs (2x SKHynix, 3x WD) in the past 4 years due to being stuck in either read or write-only mode due to brownouts. A good DC-DC UPS solves it.

      Ah brownouts would absolutely do it. Brownouts really kill electronics since its not no power but low power (assuming you mean the technical definition of a brownout) and most protection circuitry isn’t designed to protect against lower than expected mains voltage/amperage/frequency
