What is the Warranty period for the Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS? I don't see the warranty info listed for the Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS. Anyone know what it is?

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!

I do not recall the warranty agreement back when i purchased mine. It is however a qaulity product, that is build for durability. Ten years seems a little long for a warranty expection out of anything so I think its worth a direct call to Amazon :)

My Western Digital Caviar Green 1 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive arrived 1 week ago. The box was well worn from its travel. Wrapped around the sides to and bottom with air pillows. Nothing at the ends. My first reaction was uh oh this thing is going to be wrecked. So far so good but I was not real happy to see such little care in packing.

goto western digitals website and you can check the warranty status with the serial number that is on the drive. Most drives I have bought usually have 1 1/2 to 2 year warranties

Fantom does the warranty. In fact I just sent an older drive for warranty work. They were GREAT. Had it back in a week or so. In case you are wondering, the power supply went out. Got the drive back from them with all data intact. I was very happy. Stuff happens you know this time it worked out just fine. I give them lots of stars.

These are the latest version that WD makes :) I would suggest that you call Western Digital's support line... They are both very helpful and completely knowledgeable about their products...

I have purchased many Western Digital drives from Amazon over the years. Until my most recent order, all were eligible for Western Digital's 5 year warranty. When I attempted to register the last drives I purchased, the Western Digital website indicated that the "Products were not eligible for Registration". This generally means that the drives are being sold outside of the region where it was originally shipped. I am returning these drives to Amazon. The warranty is really important because WD will replace any drive that fails within the warranty period. I've had it happen & WD handles it quickly and painlessly. In my opinion, enterprise drives without a manufacturer's warranty should not be put into service. 8/29/2013 Update: Amazon shipped my order for multiple drives from different fulfillment centers (presumably they didn't have sufficient quantity on hand from their primary shipping location). The drives that came from Lexington were not eligible for warranty. Those that arrived a day later from North Las Vegas were able to be registered for warranty coverage. The labeling on the WDC boxes was slightly different, so I conclude that the Lexington drives were `gray market'. I hope this is a onetime aberration, but for the foreseeable future, I'll by my enterprise drives elsewhere.

Warranty info is at: http://support.wdc.com/warranty/policy.asp?custtype=end〈=en The date is dependent on the Serial Number which you can check at: http://wdsupport.wdc.com/warranty/warrantycheck.asp?custtype=end Then, of course, know exactly what the return/warranty policy of the vendor you are buying them from. You may have to deal directly with the manufacturer. It's been my experience with only a single failure though, they replaced it within about two weeks after I return the failed drive.

In the case of Western Digital. If the drive was originally sold to an OEM it is not eligible for warranty. (Many old drives find their way into the market that way.) The start of the warranty period is the date of sale IF it is sold by an AUTHORIZED dealer. Not everyone on Amazon is an authorized dealer. In my experience if it is sold by and shipped by Amazon you are golden.

I just had a similar problem. I purchased what was advertised as a new drive and received a drive marked "Recertified". When I when to register this drive I found it only had 3 years remaining on it's warranty. This is my eight WD 4TB Re drive. I'm very happy with them and I have purchased most of them from Amazon. In two other cases I received an OEM drive and had to exchange it. In all the other cases I received what I ordered. Getting an OEM drive or a Recertified derive "by mistake" seems to be a common problem. The warranty is very important to me. I own a total of sixteen HD's on three computers. Over the past 15 years two have failed under warranty and WD replaced them. I just had a similar problem. I purchased what was advertised as a new drive and received a drive marked "Recertified".

I was so disgusted with the manufacturer I did not make a warranty claim on WD. There is no reason to expect a WD replacement drive to be any better than the original. I replaced the drive with one from another manufacturer.

I think they have a 1 yr warranty. I love my computer and have had no problems with it. After I updated Windows (which took a full day because there were so many!) I sent it in to my IT guy and he put Windows shell on it to make navigation easier.

WD warranties are 5 years from the date of manufacture. Provided someone else hasn't already sent the drive in for warranty repair, then you're covered for the remainder of the 5-year period. Just make sure the drive is simply used, not refurbished.

From what I've seen on the web, it appears that this model has 4 platters with 750GB on each. http://techreport.com/review/19871/western-digital-caviar-green-3tb-hard-drive

The warranty on these things is two years. Mine died 3 days ago, after two and a half years. Perfect planning by Seagate.
