Western Digital RMA?
Had three WD drives die in the past year and finally noticed that two of them were still under the factory warranty, so now what are they going to send me? New drives? Refurbished drives? I've never had a HD die under warranty before.

WD's warranty applies to repaired or replaced Products for the balance of the applicable period of the original warranty or ninety days from the date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer." ******* I'm guessing hell would freeze over, before you'd be getting a new one :-) Paul |

So they'll send refurb's with life expectancies equal to the remainder of the warranty plus one day... |

Actually, I got a refurbed 3T MyBookLive to replace the 2T nas; think I came out ahead somewhat; the explanation was whatever was "in hand" at that time... |

Won't do any better from Seagate, any of the others. Pot luck, even to say I'd prefer Seagate over WD;- they've both 3- & 5-yr warrantee models, thereabouts I'd imagine, just haven't had a Seagate fail more of late (excluding a PS/ bad MB issue, I strongly suspect, that got a 200G Seagate a few months ago). You get the warrantee if you've got it. A used/factory refurbished drive that lasts right up to it expires, if not longer, whichever and whatever comes first. Social capitalistic contract, as far as I'm aware;- maybe someday we'll get reissued HDs under a 50-year communistic sort of arrangement. . .I'll let you know when I hear it's being implemented. First thing, for sure. |
