There's no great mystery to the name `wren'; there was a line of SCSI
disks at the time (ca.  1990) called Wren I, Wren II, Wren III, etc.,
I think made by Fujitsu, who earlier made the Eagle, Super-Eagle
(a.k.a.  the Super-Turkey), Swallow, etc.  So `wren' just denotes a
SCSI disk.

Is your machine on a UPS?  If not, all bets are off after a power
failure; if so, it shouldn't even notice a short power failure.
