This was a new hard drive for replacement on a hard drive that went bad. I got my on November 2013. It is working good. No complains, good for the value. I dont know what the original warranty is.

mine has been working for 4 years and no problem-I dont know what the original warranty is.

I don't remember it. I do not own one. I must have returned it some time ago for some reason.

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.

The ones I bought were recertified, which only carries a 6 month warranty. But I bought 3 to keep on hand but only 1 out of the 3 worked.

Yes. Just make sure the drive is brand new and not like an HP, Dell OEM drive that does not come with any 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.

It should come with a 3 year warranty, mine did. I have had my drive for a year now and have had great service from it with no problems at all.

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

The warranty on these drives is not through HGST. When I purchased 4 drives from Oceanside about 6 months ago, the drives were listed as OEM. At time, the price was very cheap ($100 less than any other vendor) that I did not worry to much about the warranty. If Newegg offers the same model with a 3 year, it should be a no brainer where to buy the drive.

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).

IDK about any warranty but the drives came to me new in box. They don't make them anymore so I would check with Seagate regarding warranty.

I'm not sure. I would guess that it might be one year but it could be more. It appears that most hard drive manufacturers have reduced their warranty periods. Sorry that I can't answer your question.

Yes brand new. Not sure about warranty. I had an engineer friend order it for me. He entered all specs etc

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.

The warranty period starts at the date of manufacture of the drives. I believe these drives were discontinued in about 2011-12, so while they potentially came with a 5 year warranty, several years have already been used. If you can get the vendor to send you the serial number you can check online. Finally, if they were destined for a non-US market they will carry no warranty from WD

That raises the question: What is the "proper packaging" for this drive? And the corollary question: How do you know it when you see it? What I do know is that mine has worked without a qualm since I bought it.

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.

Mine came factory refurbished in bubble wrap. Don't buy this new. Instead get a 1TB Seagate barracuda.

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".

Manufacturer was Seagate Technology LLC. I didn't see any warranty. I gave the hard drive to someone.
