No software solution will help because the (disk) caches will lie about
the data. It's not possible to build a reliable (predictable) system on
unreliable hardware. People want the cheapest and fastest disks => disk
manufacturers provide them but data unreliability is the real price. The
faster media wearing is another serious, increasing reliability problem.

Battery backed disk controllers could help the issue but during a power
outage quite many other things can go wrong in the hardware. Cheap,
personal PCs are not designed to work reliably in such conditions
because the hardware price would rocket what most people couldn't not
afford. Buying and using an UPC is much cheaper.

Invent a cheap, fast, reliable data storage and you will become a
billionaire. Today everybody must choose two from the tree and leave
with the consequences.
