If I buy from Used Section from seller AmazonWarehouseDeals with the condition of Used Like new. Then would it Still be under WD's 5 year warranty?

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.

I've looked into that and without the original sales receipt it would be reckoned from the date burned into the ROM. You would have 5 years from that date. I found this out by having a drive without a receipt and needing service. WD is so much better than Seagate. I've only had one that I needed service and almost all Seagate drives died within a couple of months for the warranty expiring. 5 years is forever in terms of drives. I got the 2GB version and on a 6Gb channel it's almost as fast as a USB3 flash drive. maybe faster. In short-it screams!

Reading the Warranty Limitations for WD I got this:"WD will have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines that:" "The Product was not sold to you as new."From when the warranty strat to apply:"The term of your limited warranty period shall commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt from an authorized distributor or authorized reseller and extends only for the period of time set forth in the Product documentation."I hope this help.

Was this sold by Amazon? If so, that sounds about right. A refurb drive would have a white label and have the works refurb on it.

The reason it has to be listed as "Used" is that Amazon is considered a "Official retailer" so Amazon terms with Pioneer or some other Companies means Nobody but Amazon can list the item as new on Amazons website. This happens quit often with certain products if you try to list them for sale as a third party reseller. Per Amazons policy with that particular company. You must look in the Notes to see if it is new.

If you check the description on the "used" item, it is actually new in open packaging. Amazon is very strict on what can be considered new, and anything opened or damaged isn't new and has to be sold under another condition. As for the pricing, either that is the cheapest they want to sell it for, or other sellers listed theirs after the "used" piece was listed. Sellers have to manually adjust pricing unless they pay for certain software, and if you have a large inventory it can be time consuming.

I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new". One was a 32 inch TV and the other was a home theater system. Both items came packaged in original box with all documentation. They appeared totally new to me, as if they came right from the factory. You could tell by the way the set was placed in the box that it had never been removed. There were absolutely no blemishes of any kind and both items work perfectly. I saved a LOT of money. Bottom line, if it says used - like new, you are safe to assume it will be in excellent condition. Besides, if there is a problem, you have 30 days to return for a full refund. And if the item doesn't work, Amazon will pay the return shipping I think. I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new".

Not an answer, but a followup... I bought one of these last week on 26 September 2014 - the description clearly states 5 year warranty. The invoice from goHardDrive.com stated 1 year. When I put my serial number into the warranty checker at hgst.com it said: "NOT VALID FOR WARRANTY Verify warranty status &gt; Ineligible for RMA creation Please return drive to the point of purchase or system manufacturer." So it's apparently an OEM drive, not a retail drive. So far goHardDrive.com haven't replied to my eMail to them. And an hour later they just have responded, with a revised invoice that states on it "5 years Warranty" with my drive's serial number noted. So I guess it's not an HGST warranty, but I'm happy now.

They put old used drives in these. So it's potluck if you get one that actually works, or will last long. When I opened mine up (I bought 2) they both had drives from 2007 in them. I bought these as new at full price. If I wanted a well used 2007 drive I could have got one for almost nothing.

The drives did come with an invoice. I purchased 2 from the seller "313 Technology". I do not see this as one of the listed sellers. When I received the drives, to my surprise they were used drives (I personally do not purchase used drives). I contacted the seller as to why I am being sent used drives sold as new. They said it was a mistake. The seller did refund my shipping cost and reduced the cost of the drives to $20 each. So I decided to keep the drives and repurpose the drives in a non-client environment. And the drives did have 2/3 of the warranty left.

Manufacturer's warranty on new WD Red WD20EFRX Hard Drives are currently 3 years. (Source: http://support.wdc.com/warranty/policy.asp)

The ones being fulfilled by Amazon are not factory new, and different sellers would have different warranties probably ending at 30 days. These are used drives that may have been mechanically refurbished (mine wasn't physically repaired but it had been used).

The one I bought was brand new and had the 5 year warranty. I have since upgraded to an SSD drive and this is my primary back up that I put in a hard drive enclosure.

In regards to warranty - here's what the western digital site says - NOT 5 YEAR !!!!Serial No Model No /Product Name Status Exp Date(MM/DD/YYYY) WMAY01638535 WD2003FYYS-02W0B02 TB WD RE4 SATA Hard Drive In Limited Warranty 4/22/2016

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.

J. Welch is right. I own 6 WD Blacks and they are 5 year warranty. Don't forget to register the drive on WD's website. You will register for an account login and password. But you can check the status of all your drive warranties there, from now on.

This is a retail box with a 3 year warranty. The warranty starts with the DOM of the drive which can be a few months old depending on which channel it went through. This is the default date. If you have a receipt they will honor the warranty from the date you purchased it, least they should since WD does it and HGST is now owned by WD.

I frankly do not remember. The seller should be able to respond. Most likely the ones that are simply "repackaged" rather than truly "used" should have the warranty.
