When the rail collapses mid-write, an SSD has milliseconds to harden its volatile cache and its mapping tables before the lights go out. A tour of the hold-up energy problem, capacitor banks and 1/2 C V^2 sizing, what "data at rest" weasel-wording actually covers, the dangerous SLC-to-TLC folding window, and how to test PLP claims with a relay rig instead of trusting the datasheet.
