Joern meant that if HDD starts a block write operation, it will
accomplish it even if power-fail happens (probably there are some
capacitors there). So, it is impossible, say, that HDD has written one
half of a sector and has not written the other half.
Hard drives contain capacitors to prevent writing of runt sectors on
a powerfail? Didn't we go around this a while ago and decide it's mostly
urban legend, and that plenty of people have seen runt/bad sectors?
No idea. But theoretically it should be so, at least "good" drives
should. May be a competent person will comment on this, that's quite
interesting.
