735745 2009-01-08 20:47:00 head crash due to power failure is a very old problem, was solved in 1994-ish
moden drives auto park the heads and so avoid head crash.



Just what I was about to say.

Nothing to do with current power problems.
Most quality PSUs will die without taking the rest of the PC with it but I'd be inclined to unplug it anyway. Don't tempt fate.

Rubbish PSUs will cause an exciting visit to your insurance company.

Those $215 dynamix ones are excellent.
