That defective existed in obsolete technology DOS and Windows based systems. That defect was one of so many eliminated when NT made Windows 95 obsolete in the early 1990s.

Any data corruption or hardware damage from an unexpected blackout implies defective and totally improperly designed hardware.

Many assume unexpected power loss can damage a disk drive or its data. When does a disk drive first learn about power loss? When 5 or 12 volts start dropping to zero. All disk drives see a normal shutdown or unexpected township wide power loss as same. Data loss only occurred with and because of an obsolete file systems such as FAT.
