>I don't need to worry about power loss protection, do I?Do you understand how SSDs work? They have RAM caches, generally somewhere between 512MB to a few GB. When you write data, that data goes in to the cache until it can be flushed to varying tiers of flash. if your computer loses power (batteries die or get removed), or because your computer locks up and you have to power cycle it, that data in the cache gets lost. Preventing things like this is the purpose of SSDs with power loss protection.
Pic related, a Seagate 600 Pro, those two chips on the bottom are RAM, the ones on the left are flash, and those yellow things are super capacitors which store enough power for the drive to be able flush the RAM cache to flash in the event of power loss.
But most people are poorfags who shop by price, which is why you only see this in enterprise class drives. Next read up on unrecoverable error rates and why enterprise class drives cost several times that of whatever shitty drives you find at BestBuy or Amazon, and why if you care about your data, you shouldnt buy shitty drives.
