This has nothing to do with you not knowing how to operate hard drives or take care of your file system.
You fucking retard.

It wasn't me with the issue. But obviously if you had a laptop and the drive failed 3 times in a year either they were sending out replacements that happened to be from a bad batch, or there was something wrong with the hard drive controller or other hardware on the laptop. Bad batches do happen. We bought 10 touchscreen wall mounted computers for our business and every single one of them had the motherboard fail. They were all Intel boards. All the replacements were fine.
And how can operator error cause 3 drives to fail on a laptop? I don't think I could wreck a hard drive on purpose if I wanted to by "not taking care of the file system", unless I was physically trying to destroy it.
You don't think a company will try to save a few bucks by using cheaper hardware? Obviously they never purposely sourced bad drives. They did probably source the cheapest ones they could get to increase profits.
I'm sure this guy was a complete retard and didn't know how to operate hard drives or to care for his file systems. 13 out of 46 drives failed.

Or maybe Dell was using substandard drives?
