Don't be silly.

The point is you cannot say your treatment of your maxtor drives is as 
harsh as someone elses treatment of their seagate drives.

The only real information you gave us is that you're happy with your 
maxtor drives. But even then we don't know how you measure happyness. Are 
you happy if you find a buck on the sidewalk or are you unhappy if you 
only win 10,000 bucks on the lottery.
