1 year, the one I purchased seems to have a faulty graphics card so I am only getting a white screen. Get back your money.

Don't know, mine failed after 90 days. Not sure 3rd-party units are ready for prime time; OE units in laptops, etc. seem to be OK. If data is critical, stick to proven tech: mechanical HDs. Sometimes older is better.

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

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.

That would be correct since you modified the drive by removing it from its case. If you bought the drive separately then a warranty would apply.

The one I bought failed in 4 months. The seller would not replace the drive due to the 90 day limit. I recommend shopping For a longer Warranty

Doesn't really matter, this Sony is a piece of crap, mine died twice (screen replaced, then motherboard a few months later) in ten months, then Sony refused to extend the warranty which I requested since there was only two months (of 1 yr) left. The laptop died again before it was 18 (previous typo 10) months old so I was screwed, now ewaste, I am a former Sony customer, will not buy any of their products.

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 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!

Well, I am just a customer and I don't offer any warranty to you (sorry). The problem is that the company's "warranty" does NOT work well either. I had a problem with my B800FS within a few months of my purchase. I called the tech support and I realized that the company has layers of tech support (called tier I, II, III etc.). By the time my problem went to the higher tier of support, no one knows my problem any more and I have to make multiple phone calls..... Is my problem solved after all? NOOOOOO! This backup unit does NOT have its own backup system - IF you cannot access the data via network (for whatever reason), you are stuck! If you have NOT purchased the system yet, think AGAIN, before you spend your bucks

I bought a hard drive from Go Hard Drive and had a problem. I tried to get warranty from WD and in fact returned it to them and they told me it was not one of their drives. I returned it to Go Hard Drive and they replaced it. Please, if you want a genuine WD drive, make sure you are buying it from a genuine WD dealer. Then verify the production date when you receive it and update the warranty with WD.

On the Hitachi web site you can plug in the drive SN and find out if it is covered. Their warranties go from 1 to 5 years but I suspect that the consumer drives are only a year.

I installed it in an Asus laptop with Windows 7 and it crashed afte just 2 months. I had it diagnosed as DEAD as it was making a clicking sound. I could research calling a getting a replacement from Hitachi, but it's probably not worth my time. I won't buy Hitachi HDD's any longer.

Its like 540 and 520... (capable). I have a pretty fast computer and I actually get about 280 & 260.... But compared to my regular hard drive which got about 80 & 65.... I don't recall what the warranty is.....

My Hard drive was brand new. 2009 is year the drive was manufactured. According to the seller you get a 2 year warranty. You can also do what I did. I bought an additional 3 year warranty from squaretrade for about $4.

3 yr Limited, but I've received an RMA on WD drives before that fell outside the "Limited" restrictions.Hope this helps.
