Is this WD Red drive backed by WD's 3-year limited warranty? I don't see it in the product description.

Yes, It's covered by the 3 year warranty. The reference link at WD is: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=810I have both Red and Black drives. The Black drives have a 5 year warranty.

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.....

JUNK! read the failure rate of WD products. Search some of their products on amazon and you will know. Worst, usually die after warranty. But warranty is useless bcos no one will send in the drive with personal info in there. when you send in for warranty, you usually get a refurbish back (someone's problem drive that they fixed)

I just bought 4 of these and all 4 were made 20 sep. 2014. When I registered them with WD they gave 5 years warranty from the date of purchase which I listed as the day that I received them here. They were individually packaged very nicely in WD boxes with plastic shock protection supports on both ends of the drive.

I don't know, but I am no longer buying any more WD hard drives. All the ones that have crashed and burned are, guess who? I have other brands that have lasted 8 years. Even the so called white lables that are generic from WD crashed within one year. No more WD.

Box says 3-year. Read this before you decide to buy anything else: http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-drive-should-i-buy/

Bought mine in Aug 2014, loaded 8 WD Red 4TB drives into without issue, I can't image there being a problem with the 6 TB drives.

NOT from this seller - I checked both serial numbers on Seagates Warranty Validation page and see "The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service."I have a failed drive, and no response from the seller - can't send it back to Seagate.. uh oh.

I'm not sure. I would guess that it might be one year but it could be more. It appears that most hard drive manufacturers have reduced their warranty periods. Sorry that I can't answer your question.

I "third" Robin V.'s comment. A few years ago, I installed four Seagate consumer drives equivalent to WD green line HDs in a Drobo and had 2 single drive failures followed by 3 simultaneous failures that resulted in a lot of downtime and some data loss. WD Red drives are built for NAS use and have not failed me yet (multiple years in, now!) And for those counting, yes, that was 5 failures with 4 (purchased) Seagate 1.5TB drives -- the first drive that failed was replaced under Seagate's warranty, and then that replacement failed. All failures happened between 6 and 18 months after purchase/deployment. I "third" Robin V.'s comment.

I purchased my 3TB red NAS drive on sale too. Mine is working great; however, it was new. I'm not sure if you are referring to a refurbished or new drive but it is a 5 year warranty. Hope that helps.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

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'm perplexed why you are asking me that question, for I'm not the person who sold it to you??? However way back I purchase two such hard drives for raid (0) they are operating excellent so far. Now to follow up your question when somebody sell you an Item it doesn't mean it has to specify to be warranted for numbers of Years??? If they tell you it is NEW it means never been opened from the original packaging even if the product was sitting on the shelf for a number of years. I hope that I understood your question correctly. As for the warranty I didn't have to recourse. Sincerly
