Are you sure that there isn't a short circuit _inside_ your Dell? or
Mac? That's a lot of drives to lose in such a short time. Maybe the UPS
is faulty--or surge suppressors--or a bad circuit. One or two power
surges aren't likely to knock out all those drives, especially at
different times.
We've had plenty of power surges and brownouts here [nowhere]. I've been
hoping that would blow out my old refrigerator so the power company
would replace it. Bought a new refrigerator and donated the [still
working] old one. Didn't lose any hard drives either except one that had
a recall, and a few ancient ones that were shrinking anyway--none were
killed due to surges.
