From your quoted definition, "FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information." (Emphasis added.)
It is neither dubious nor false that SSDs without some form of capacitance, in order to flush outstanding writes cached in the on-board buffer to the NAND media in the event of a power loss, will (eventually) suffer data loss or corruption. To think otherwise betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how SSDs actually work.
I've known about this for years, and have taken extreme care only to use SSDs in laptops (with their built-in battery), hosts with UPS backup power, configured to gracefully shut down if mains power is lost, and/or drives that have onboard capacitors or super-caps.
This has, in practice, meant using only Intel 320 and DC3x00 series drives, though the OWC Enterprise class drives also have super-caps (if you're willing to pay that high a premium for your storage). The Crucial m500 drives appear also to have a bank of small capacitors, but I currently have no direct experience with them.
