    What is the lowest voltage that will cause corruption of data?


    Unfortunately, that's most likely impossible to tell for sure. If the voltage is out of spec, then it's a problem, even if it appears to be working. If it's not out spec, then it should work without issue.

    Now, what's out of spec? Good question. If you really want to explore in that direction, I would first try to measure the actual voltage as Sandshark suggested. If you consider PSU tolerance, then 11.4V seems to be the minimum 'in spec': https://www.lifewire.com/power-supply-voltage-tolerances-2624583

    Though I do not know for sure what is the minimum voltage on the 12V that the different components would "accept", I personnaly wouldn't feel comfortable if it's not within the standard PSU tolerance. Then the components are not designed to work it, and you may encounter random issues. Not exactly what you want with your data storage.
