I just spoke with a co-worker about doing something about it.

He says he can design a small in-line "UPS" that will deliver 20-30
seconds of 3.3V, 5V, and 12V to the SATA power connector for about $50
in parts. It would be even less if only one voltage was needed. That
should be enough for most any SSD to finish any pending writes.

Any design that we come up with will be made publicly available under
a Creative Commons or other similar license.
