It is not rare for flash storage devices to lose data on power loss, even data that is FLUSH'd. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38371307

There are known cases where power loss during a write can corrupt previously written data (data at rest). This is not some rare occurrence. This is why enterprise flash storage devices have power loss protection.

I wish someone would sell an SSD that was at most a firmware update away between regular NVMe drive and ZNS NVMe drive. The latter just doesn't leave much room for the firmware to be clever and just swallow data.

Maybe also add a pSLC formatting mode for a namespace so one can be explicit about that capability...

It just has to be a drive that's useable as a generic gaming SSD so people can just buy it and have casual fun with it, like they did with Nvidia GTX GPUs and CUDA.

Unfortunately manifacturers almost always prefer price gouging on features that "CuStOmErS aRe NoT GoInG tO nEeD". Is it even a ZNS device available for someone who isn't a hyperscale datacenter operator nowadays?
