Due to reasons a UPS may not be practical for me to have. So I was wondering, what kind of data integrity issues would I likely face (and what would I likely face in an extreme case) if there was a power outage (when the system is in the middle of a scrub -- since I assume that's the most likely time for damage to occur?)? And what if I don't run any scrubs (since the data is mostly media I likely wouldn't notice bitrot anyway)?
My server is mainly used for media storage (so nothing super critical) and streaming via Plex. I run (or will run) scrubs and SMART tests weekly (that sums up the majority of the non-streaming usage AFAIK).
