On sudden power loss. Quite rarely. But when it happens the SSD reports
its 8 MB big and needs to be replaced.
Ironically AFAIC it comes from an issue related to the capacitors on the
SSD that should allow the SSD to complete pending writes in case of a
power loss.
There has been a firmware update that I applied. But it has not been clear,
whether it really fixes the issue even when it should.
Well, this one still works ;). And the laptop has a battery in it.
