I believe the ones I ordered were not marked OEM and should have thewarranty. It is possible that the current batch is OEM. I bought mine at the end of last year and the beginning of this year.

I personally couldn't tell you. On the fact that within 3 months of buy this laptop the hard drive failed, so I wouldn't recommend this laptop at all due to that

Most drives sold on Amazon's marketplace are sold by 3rd party sellers and have NO WARRANTY. You have to be really careful, and always check the serial number against Seagate's website as soon as you get the drive in the mail. Send it back if no warranty and demand a full refund. http://support.seagate.com/customer/en-US/warranty_validation.jsp

The drive has a 5-year warranty and is provided by OCZ Storage Solutions - A Toshiba Group Company. The old OCZ Technology SSD assets were acquired by Toshiba last year and OCZ now operates as a subsidiary of Toshiba - a really good thing in my opinion as they were a small level fabless company before and now have the backing of a major, stable company. If you need help of any kind you can contact the ocz support forum (awesome IMO) or talk to plain tech support here: http://ocz.com/consumer/support

Hi it's a bit confusing, and hard to figure out who you are ordering from on these drives. Did not buy mine from Oceanside. Might want to look at similar drives from Fry's. They have the full warranty.

Yes. Just make sure the drive is brand new and not like an HP, Dell OEM drive that does not come with any warranty.

Western Digital's support portal doesn't say, and honestly once the drive dies your warranty is forever impacted, as you only have a year from the refurbished drive before it's no longer supported. In the review I didn't clarify the seller, the seller was EOnline. When I ordered it it was posted as a WD1500HLHX, now my review is showing under a 600GB model so perhaps I'm not the only one they were making that mistake with.

I ordered four drives, after receipt I ran their numbers through the Warranty Validation page on the Seagate Partner site and received the following information: "The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service. Seagate sells many drives to direct OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) customers. These products are usually configured for the OEMs only, as components for their systems. You must contact your place of purchase for any warranty support on these drives."

They are likely OEM hard drives pulled from new or newer servers or computers. I bought one and it was an HP OEM WD drive with no warranty at all. I would use some caution buying these drives...

This is an OEM drive, no retail packaging. It will likely come bare in a box. But in my experience they are well packed.

Like I have said before, these drives are not of recent manufacture... but they may very well have remained unused for several years.... The one I received was made around 2009, but it worked fine.... The warranty you have is only the possibility of returning it if you notice it doesnt work.....

I'm not sure how that is true. Warranties run from when the drive is bought - if it is new. A used one would be a different thing.

Hard Drive wqrranties start as of the data of Manufacture. I have no idea about the whether this is the actual drive or a stock photo. I could only guess it is a photo of the actual drive.

Newegg says 3 years parts/labor. After searching for an hour I couldn't find this on Seagate's website. You'd think they'd be bragging about it on billboards since practically everyone else is down to 1 year (and wouldn't surprise me if they all got rid of a warranty altogether and made people buy at their own wallet's peril).

OEM drives in my case, possibly European models not for sale in the US. Not covered by manufacturer's warranty - at least, not on the four drives I purchased and received today (and am sending back tomorrow). Strange that Amazon doesn't require sellers to publish warranty info. It's as if they encourage sales of gray market goods.
