Where I live power cuts are frequent too. When I first set up LMS on my externally powered HDD, I found the disc was having to start up any time I wanted to use LMS even for things that didn't use my music on the HDD (such as internet radio). At the time, that was the main reason for me to move LMS to the SD card, and I'm very happy with the way everything works. The system has been running 24/7 for several months now with no breaks - except when Mr. Wind blows another tree down on the power lines!
