I'm setting up a NAS that I plan to raid1 the setup. I have had computers in the past where the PSU's go out and take the HD's with them. Does any company make an inline fuse or something for HD's? I figured something like that could act as one last fail safe if my system blows for some reason.
 
your best bet is a quality battery backup.

I had a brown out/power flicker kill an onboard NIC, even though the system never shut down.


it's usually some other "power event" that's the cause when a "psu takes out an hdd"
 
I'm only thinking this because the last PSU I had to out at work was a higher end corsair that was running off a mid-range APC battery backup. IIRC I think the 5v rail went out, and after that event one of the HD's in my array wouldn't spin up anymore. Lucky the other drives were fine so I was able to swap it out.
