and look for something describing your storage system. for example,
the machine I tested hdparm on above shows entries like:
These look correct? The drives are in a RAID 5 array off the PERC
controller...

you also want to look at dmidecode's output to get a better idea of
what your system is:
sudo dmidecode|less

Does the information I've supplied help at all?
yes. check this link:

there are numerous firmware updates available for your type of
machine, including the raid controller and harddrives. Most look to
be a few years old, though. You should probably go ahead and bring
all the bios/firmware versions up to date.
If the issue persists, you may need to run the dell diagnostics.
