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.
