Depends on whether the SSD uses condensators to provide some energy in case of 
sudden power loss or not. And on whether there are bugs with that like in the 
Intel SSD 320. Luckily I never encountered the bug (that basically trashes the 
device), but I also keep my laptop battery inside the laptop at all time just 
for safety.
