I think the effect of getting rid of the drift file depends on the

Possibly, and in perhaps many cases probably, but almost certainly?
I believe so. Loss of power generally means loss of temperature control
as well. Even if if your computers are powered, what about the air
conditioning? In winter there are easy and inexpensive ways to cool
things; e.g. open the windows.
In the summer, you either have backup power for computer AND Air
Conditioning or you risk damaging your equipment.
