That, and worse.

Incidently, I have just posted on my G+ about this:
https://plus.google.com/106981743284611658289/posts/Us8yjK9SPs6

which is mostly links to
http://lkcl.net/reports/ssd_analysis.html
https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast13/understanding-robustness-ssds-under-power-fault

After you read those, you'll never think twice about SSDs and data loss
anymore :-/
(I kind of found that out myself over time too, but these have much more
data than I got myself empirically on a couple of SSDs)
