Answer: Yes they have been and the Manufacturer warranty is valid until late 2018 By Viixim SELLER on October 20, 2016" That "someone" calls themself Western Supplies. However, that is a store front at Amazon provided to non-Amazon sellers. So you won't really know who is the seller. Reviews of transactions with this seller only back a year. There are only 19 ratings in that year's duration. So the seller hasn't been around very long (under that storefront) and hasn't had much volume of sales. If you go to the seller's storefront, he doesn't have much to sell. In the description of one of his wares, he says "Manfacturer: Western Companies". That is NOT the same was Western Digital Corp, just a misleading name for his storefront. Amazon won't provide you details regarding their customers that pay for storefronts at their site. This seller is lying. Warranties are only valid to the original purchaser, not to resales of components from salvaged devices. You get no warranty with this purchase. https://support.wdc.com/warranty/warrantypolicy.aspx "No limited warranty is provided by WD unless your WD Product ("Product") was purchased from an authorized distributor or authorized reseller." and "If your Product was purchased as a component integrated within a system by a system manufacturer, no limited warranty is provided by WD. Please contact the place of purchase or the system manufacturer directly for warranty service." Since you don't get the device from which these drives were removed, the warranty cannot be transferred to you for a device you never got. |

No big deal. Lynn |
