This is why I&#x27;ve been deploying Crucial M500, M550, and MX200 drives over the years. They don&#x27;t use full scale super-cap protection, but they&#x27;re better than Samsung Pros and the few Intel drives without proper protection.<p>Generally power loss will not effect these drives, and I couldn&#x27;t get them to scramble existing data or damage the drive while unplugging them or unplugging the computer they were in during heavy writes.<p>M600DC is Crucial&#x27;s full scale DC model that offers superior power loss protection.<p>Crucial drives are manufactured at the joint Intel&#x2F;Micron facility (using technology from both companies) that Intel&#x27;s current lineup of drives are manufactured.<p>I agree with the article that S3500s have sufficient protection.<p>SanDisk also has a power loss protected drive, but the drives themselves don&#x27;t seem to be any good. I&#x27;m hoping SanDisk drives produced under Western Digital&#x27;s ownership will be much better.
