You will only lose a very small portion of data but that data could be a very important file that Windows can't run without. You should always have a battery backup on your computer(s) for many reasons. It transfers the data to the platters as soon as it can.

Does the data stay in the cache indefinitely or is it transferred to the platters as soon as possible? If a power outage occurs, do I lose the data for the entire day or just in that moment before the power loss? Brent,
