NTFS journals writes and keeps a fairly large buffer so it'd have to be a very well timed, fast power loss. Software should do what it could to alleviate this (especially in long runtime cases) but a cheap UPS or some form of hardware battery backed hardware RAID is a better solution if the data is that important, IMO.
As an aside, Windows 10 with enough RAM can run for at least 3 minutes with the system drive cable pulled. I did it accidentally once while hot-swapping another drive that snagged it. No data corruption, NTFS journals in memory finished the write when I noticed my clumsy and and plugged it back in. Just anecdotal but funny to me.
