Can you tell the exact model numbers for the Samsung and Crucial SSD's?
It typically matters! E.g I have some Crucial M550 that have capacitors
and (originally) claimed to be power off safe, but with testing have
been shown to be not really power off safe at all. I'd be dubious about
Samsungs too.
The Intel Datacenter range (S3700 and similar) are known to have power
off safety that does work.
