Counterpoint, running Dell R430 rack server for nearly ten years -- in that time a single SSD in raid 10, 8 disk array, has failed.

Maybe I got lucky?

Similarly, my last three laptops have all been Dell Precision -- only issue until I switched to Intel integrated gpu was Nvidia on Linux (black screens, laptop attempting liftoff due to gpu heating issues) causing periodic grief.

Also, for the author, Dell Precision provides advanced BIOS options out of the box, something that their consumer line of laptops probably doesn't offer.

We had 4 Dell Itanium racks (circa 2003) all fail with the same exact power-supply overvoltage issue over the course of 4 months. Maybe we got unlucky.
