Could someone please enlighten me?

Wouldn't a UPS and something that writes the ram to a drive, like a shutdown script, solve that issue?They have power loss protection. RAM does not. If you are writing data, that can be important (e.g. ZIL/ SLOG)
Somewhat different. What if your shutdown script hangs? What if the issue is within the server not external power?Wouldn't a UPS and something that writes the ram to a drive, like a shutdown script, solve that issue?
