Neither will be safe against that, unless you have write caching disabled OR
write barriers enabled, and working right on the HBA (host/port controller)

It IS possible that data=journal should be safer in theory for certain

It is as audited as the data=ordered code. It is less *used*. If you think
this is even worse, you're right.
