Well, no filesystem is impervious to hardware problems. Even if you have metadata and journal checksumming enabled, which isn't a default still, there is no guarantee.
Gist is, simple mount option -o journal_checksum for journal checksumming. For full metadata checksumming you need e2fsprogs 1.43. Current in F21 is 1.42.11-2, and it doesn't support mkfs.ext4 -O metadata_csum,64bit.

Well, that's a shame!
At least after I had done the fsck, I lost no files as lost+found was empty.
But that does not mean I did not lose file data in dirty buffers.
