is there a warrenty on these drives?

Yes, but you should check with www.hgst.com to see what is left with the warranty stated based on the SN of the drive. Originally these drives carry a 3-year manufacturers warranty but many resellers use old drives (they are new) OEMS but that we're not sold and only carry a 1 year warranty. What I did was I purchased a Canope extended 2-yr. warranty for 19.99 each to compensate for the loss on the original warranty.

Yes. Visit "http://www.hgst.com/portal/site/en/support/warranty/" to find instructions/details. I have more than 10 of these in my Drobo NAS boxes, and had only 1 failure in more than 3 years. HGST warranty covered full replacement of the failed drive. The process was quick and easy.

I could be wrong, but it doesn't appear so. Check out this discussion: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1631920/party-hard-drives-server-warranties.html

the drive i bought was sold by amazon and was in a sealed package. the first thing i did before opening it was to verify the serial # with wd's website. this has happened to me once before, i sent it back & got reimbursed, but had to pay shipping. always make shure it is OEM product so you get the warranty.

That would be correct since you modified the drive by removing it from its case. If you bought the drive separately then a warranty would apply.

Sounds like a warrant problem. If I read the Western Digital warranty policy correctly, it states that the Western Digital Blue hard drives come with a 2 year warranty. Check with Amazon regarding their return/ exchange policy.

I do not know where those drive are OEM or not. I have not carefully check out the warranty too. But, it works so far.

in my case the drives were brand new. What was disappointing about the warranty is that one of the 8 I bought failed and was replaced for another with the same size but older P/N (SKU), what is not good when you have a big RAID 6 like my case. As per the rest, the drives are very good: fast, quiet and reliable.

Yep, exactly what it is, a refurbish. These drives normally come with a one year warranty, so 180 days shows a rework. The price should determine if you should take a chance with it. Good luck

Don't recall. But drive failed within a year or so after purchase (18 months max) , so I wouldn't recommend you buy it.

I bought 2 drives from Platinum Micro and they did not have the warranty after checking on the WD site. However, that did not stop Platinum Micro from claiming they did carry the 5yr warranty in their specific listing. Just be careful and plan on returning the drives. I ended up paying a little more and purchasing from Newegg to ensure a quality product was delivered.

I have heard of this issue in ASUS laptops, but have not experienced any kind of Drive failures in mine. Though Ive only had mine for a little over a year now. Sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can recover the data.

Yes, the drives come with the standard 1 year warranty from Western Digital

Contact you G-drive directly. All of their hard drives have a three-year warranty. You may need to provide proof of purchase.Check your warranty status here:http://prod.g-technology.com/support/warranty_rma.cfm

I don't know why someone would say that. I have found them to be the most reliable drives I have ever owned. In fact, I can honestly say that I have never had to replace a Western Digital RE drive because of a failure. We have replaced some that were small enough to be obsolete, but in my recollection have never replaced one for any other reason in 9 years of business. Of course, your mileage may vary. We do make sure to keep them cool.

You will need Proof of Purchase. I got the drives from Amazon, so that was easy. Call Buffalo's 24x7 Support Center at (866)752-6210. Ask them for an RMA. Follow their instructions precisely. You will get your new drive in a few days. R Cooper (below) is right. Take the drive out of the enclosure, otherwise it will run hot and fail in a year or so. You will not have a warranty any longer, but may have a drive that lasts more than 12 months.

Hello Mr. Fong,If you have a Crucial branch office in Singapore, then they will honer the warranty for this drive. If not, then you will have to deal with the nearest Crucial office to you, or ship it back to us and we will fix it or replace it, and ship it back to you. But you will have to pay for the two-way shipping. Thank you.Regards,RRI06/04/2014+++++++++
