LOL! Cisco. If I told you that that particular device used to be called Linksys, would it change your opinion of the device? I've got a Linksys ADSL gateway that I'm quite sure couldn't keep up with the Dell. In fact, I used to have that *exact* Linksys device and it died within 18 months and it's performance sucked!
Yes I know it is LinkSys - we used them at my old job and yeah we had one die but the price was worth it. I am mainly concerned with the speed of the thing and managability. My current job is a lot less sensitive to outages than my last one, as well.
Outage is one thing, but having the disk volumes disappear mid-transaction can be detrimental to a file system's health.
