Is this a new drive from seagate with the full factory 5 year warranty or are these drives from a bulk pull with a 1 year seller warranty?

This is a brand new drive and comes backed by manufacturers warranty. If this were a used drive it would state so. Arrives in sealed OEM packaging, ready to be deployed.

I am not sure since I purchased a 2 yr warranty when I bought my Seagate which is so dependable.If you have anyproblem with a Seagate and also have a year subscription to Carbonite, their customer care with solve any problem you have with the external hard drive which the Carbonite service requires.

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, we received new drives with recent manufactured dates, and they are reported to come with full manufacturer's warranty, although I don't have direct access to those drives at this time, because they've been deployed in a production environment, and have been working flawlessly since they were installed. There are some reviews claiming to have received used drives, and I suspect the only real way to tell would be to check the serial number at Seagate's website.

yes it was new. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. this one showed up on win 7 as two hard drives. 300 gig and then 100 mb. you have to go into disk management and change the partitions. its a good hard drive.

Honestly I don't think I ever paid attention... but I would assume it came with standard 2 year warranty. In any case, these hard drives don't tend to fail months after purchased, either they're DOA (dead on arrival) / die in the first few hours of use because they're defective, or they last for years. My last Seagate external HDD lasted me for TEN years, hence why I bought this one. I wouldn't worry about it too much, Seagate has pretty decent customer support.

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.

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'm not sure how that is true. Warranties run from when the drive is bought - if it is new. A used one would be a different thing.

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.....

These are most certainly *NOT* new. They come pre-formatted with a 150MB(ish) partition, and so far, of the 4 2TB drives I've attempted to use, SMART lists at *LEAST* 500 days of usage -- one has nearly 1200 days and has enough bad sectors to choke a chicken. Checking warranty status on them, 2 are 'return to place of purchase' one is 'Unreturnable' and the other has one year left. Thankfully, that's the *BAD* one.

I just received a 320GB drive which, when checking the warranty status for this serial number on the WD site, shows the factory warranty having expired 14 months ago.

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.

I found that the drives are several years old. I bought a bunch of them (10+) it was a mistake. I tried to get warranty from WD and they did not honor the 5 year warranty and in fact when I returned the drive, they claimed it wasn't manufactured by them. I ended up returning the drive to the seller for a replacement. Don't count on the 5 year warranty, better yet buy it from another manufacturer. I've had too many failures of WD drives in the last year or two. I have switched to Seagate.

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.

The drive has a one-year warranty, when purchased from an authorized dealer. See www.hgst.com for more details.
