Totally false. LMDB is perfectly crash-proof in that scenario and killing the process never damages the DB. The only thing that's not guaranteed is turning off syncs, in the face of an OS crash/power outage.

If you don't sync, you're not abusing the SSD. If you run on Windows, the OS is too unstable to use without safe sync mode though.
