Just going through this now with a vendor. They initially assured us that the drives had "end to end protection" so we did not need to worry. I had to post stripdown pictures from Intel's s3700, showing obvious capacitors attached to the board before I was taken seriously and actually meaningful specifications were revealed. So now I'm demanding to know:

- chipset (and version)
- original manufacturer (for re-badged ones)
- power off protection *explicitly* mentioned
- show me the circuit board (and where are the capacitors)

In addition to the above, I only use drives where I've seen compelling evidence that plug pull tests have been done and passed (e.g. done by someone on this list or in-house here).  I also like to have a high level of confidence in the firmware development group. This results in a very small set of acceptable products :(
