In my defence, when I sent the drive back, these links were not on this

only mentioned a firmware upgrade to customers via email.

Unfortunate, but it doesn't alter the fact that the people who have
responsibility and who you should be chasing are your motherboard
suppliers not Ebuyer or Maxtor.

And is it my fault?

Seriously, the motherboard is a year old. What am I supposed to do? Your
arugments hardly mirror reality and are so bias in favor of the retailer.

My mum bought some jeans the other day, she thought they fit but when she
got home decided they didn't. She got a refund, hardly the retailers fault?
I suppose the refund was just a good will gesture? I'm quite sure the law
doesn't rely so heavily on "fault" as you seem to think.

And besides all this, you're assuming that the motherboard is at fault. Yet
1) I have no NCQ issues, 2) I have no data corruption issues, as per the
maxtor technote. I can't even get any data on the drive to start with. I've
not read one single bit of information yet that has told me the motherboard
is definitley to blame. The maxtor page admits certain issues and the hugely
vague Nvidia technote address issues with "nforce boards" of which there are
many.
