Most of my failures were on Windows but they didn't seem to be related to power fluctuations. The Samsung failed on my Linux server. I reformatted one of the Kingston drives and stuck it in my Linux house computer. It ran for a couple of weeks before trashing the file system. I always get the same symptoms. The drive locks up bringing the OS to it's knees. After a reboot a chunk of the file system is missing.
