Which would be?

Will a disk drive write to the platter as voltage drops?

Certainly, at least to some point.

Of course not.

You're *ONCE AGAIN* yalking through your ass.

The disk drive controller is a complete computer
that also monitors voltage.

Really? I'm not from Missouri, but close enough. An IDE port monitors
its supply voltage? You're simply talking out your ass, since it's been
shot off repeatedly.

And yours blew-up just now when you can't make the distinction between
an IDE Disk Controller and an IDE Hostbus Adapter.



It does not matter to disk hardware when power is turned off. But it
does matter to some 'simplistic' disk filesystems that power is not
removed during a write operation.

*And* to the drive when it may encounter a bad sector afterwards,
nomatter what filesystem is in use, though the 'damage' is temporary.


Just another reason why FAT was obsoleted by HPFS which in
turn was obsoleted by NTFS.

You haven't a clue (as usual). NTFS is a slight modification to HPFS
(written by the same SB, AFAIK) to make sure that OS/2 couldn't access NT
systems. Neither is a JFS, nor is either less corrruptable than FAT.
Indeed NT systems are far more susceptable to corruption than other
similar OSs because of the agressive write buffering. Even (non-JFS) OS/2
systems are better at self-healing than NT. Of course JFS is a standard
part of OS/2 now. Windows? YMBK!
