Try "Other World Computing" - I believe they still have them and the OWC warranty is 5 years.

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.

Yes, but the Hard Drive is of very poor quality, and poor attention Seller !!

I was wondering the same thing. So basically, it's impossible to purchase a 3TB drive that does not come with a plug? Unfortunate. :/

I ordered from Amazon directly - no third party. The bad inner box was due to Seagate. The bad outer box was due to Amazon.

I just checked www.wdc.com Typed in Serial Number from drive I received. Answer from WD: "The warranty for this product has expired. The product is not eligible for replacement. If you need technical assistance, please send us email." So either Seller is warranting this drive OR NO ONE IS!!! I, for one, would like to hear from the seller on this matter!

I contacted my external hard drive mfg. (Seagate) via web & then called. They researched the item, gave me the model # for the item and recommended Amazon for best price!Received it quickly and am very happy!

I have purchased several of these drives and they are new in factory packaging. if you do have a problem amazon and wd support are very good. they run at 100 to 110 mps speed and are very quiet.

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.

I noticed that as well -- now it looks like Amazon has stopped selling (new) units themselves altogether, with no explanation. We bought ours from Amazon recently and it seems to work fine. A thorough and generally well-done review was posted by someone on July 25 if you haven't seen it.

I am sorry to hear that your product is working properly. I will say this though if you are looking to return the current product for another I would strongly recommend the ex hard drives made by the brand G-tech. Take your time and scour through the product descriptions to find the one that suits you best. When I was looking for a new ex-hhd at the time I purchased this one G-tech was a close second and only because the brands prices were out of my range.

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.

Yep. Appears that this seller is being a bit deceptive and leading people that he is selling retail versions instead of OEM. I can only suggest that you go to Best Buy (or a local computer store) and buy a SATA drive connection cable.

Check this one too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009KN1H3W/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1427046651&sr;=8-7&keywords;=dv6-2155dx+hard+drive&dpPl;=1&dpID;=41fwy4lzG5L&ref;=plSrch

I suggest the Seagate Desktop 1 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6 GB with NCQ 64 MB Cache 3.5 Inch (ST1000DX001) for about $85 from Amazon, if you have Amazon Prime shipping is included.

This drive seems to come into stock and sell out quickly. I waited months to order mine last week. TigerDirect dot com is where I purchased mine. They apprear to still be in stock, and there's a $15 rebate. I received mine in just a few days. Good luck!
