I've seen a few different models of 2.5" Enterprise SAS drives go through a similar test (as a control,) and they were perfectly fine with no corruption after around 2 weeks of reboots at approximately 10 minute intervals.

It's the SSDs that I worry about - some store their own firmware on the same NAND as the User's data, and allow it to become corrupted during power-loss events. Several cheap models won't last more than a couple days before they simply drop off the SATA bus and never come back.
