I see this as somewhat interesting, for sure.

I agree that complaints about corruption and/or lost records seem to have grown more frequent in recent times (like 2- years or so).

On the other hand, I'd find it hard to believe that (even many of) those would have had actual hibernation involved without it being connected by one of them.

But I guess it could be that something about the fancier power management generally that's out-of-whack. At least it offers a line of inquiry not previously considered (I don't think).

cheers
