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.

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...

Thanks for responding to my review. The warranty is 12 Months. Most of the manufacturers are moving to that length.UPDATE: I reread the warranty (very small print). It says that the drive itself is warranted for 2 years, while the "other parts" were warranted for 1 year. What this means is pretty confusing; the warranty statement was obviously not meant for this particular unit - it is a generic statement. I would stick with 1 year as definite, but possibly two years.

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.

Hello, I went to Seagate's site, typed the model and serial #'s in from one of the drives I ordered. The site shows the warranty will expire 12-21-2018. The drives arrived sealed in anti-static foil surrounded with foam in plain wire cardboard boxes. Have installed 4 drives so far with no issues.

WD Support Site says GREEN is THREE Years. Caviar Black is FIVE years. You might be able to update to the FIVE YEAR Warrantee for a fee...? Usually I've found that bad drives fail early. BUT they ALL fail eventually...:( If you don't do back ups, you WILL cry! Esp.@ 1 TB!

Western Digital is one of the best hard drives. I can tell you that I always buy western digital hd I have about 6 hard drives and only one failed but the great news is the kind of warranty about 1 to 3 years for replacement and that hd that failed I sent it to the warranty and they gave me a new one...

Generally, Western Digital, like Seagate and others, limits their warranty to physical replacement of the drive if found to be defective. The warranty does not cover data recovery. The 3 year warranty was a positive in my decision to buy.

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.

Save your receipt. I have had to obtain warranty service in the past, and unless you have a dated sales receipt they go by the date of manufacture. I happened to purchase a drive that was on a shelf for several months after it was manufactured. WD honored without any grief the sale date on the receipt.

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).

The drives I got have a Dec, 2009 build date, so if there were actually a 5 year warranty, the warranty would expire Dec, 2014. However, the drives were surplus Dell Enterprise branded products, and my previous experience with WDC is that products that are sold under another brand name are only under warranty to the original purchaser (in this case, Dell). Since I did not purchase the drives from Dell, that would mean that they are sold as is (no warranty).

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

There is no way to find out without opening the case up, which I'm not willing to do. The 2TB Buffalo that I had for only 13 months had a Western Digital Drive inside. I bought this 3TB drive to replace the dead 2TB drive.

The Seagate Constellation ES2 3TB drives I picked up are model ST33000650NS. They were all brand NEW with the 5 YR warranty. All SATA3 6Gb/s 64MB Cache.
