What if the power fails while SpinRite is running?

GRC | SpinRite 6.0 FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

We, and many editorial product reviewers, have literally "pulled the plug" on SpinRite with no ill effects. However, reliable use of a personal computer does depend upon a supply of reliable power.
