I read that mail as "I stopped buying Maxtor (for whatever reason) then 
tried them again and had an 100% failure rate (albeit with a small 
sample size) so have stopped buying them again" rather than "I bought 
two Maxtor drives that failed so Maxtor drives are shit".

My own personal experience (I'm the OP in this thread) is that the 250GB 
SATA Maxtor Maxline II drives I have purchased have an unacceptable 
failure rate (something like 40% in 5 months)
