Is this a used drive, has it been pulled from a computer or server? Warranty?

they are supposed to have a 5 year warranty - but shown on package as HP spare parts - they have a 10-2012 date on them but, my desktop motherboard died before I installed them and haven't installed either one in the new machine yet so can't check them - but they were cheap so who knows?

I ordered a 500 gb hdd but received the SATA III version instead (new). I had planned to return it but decided to keep it and now have it in a RAID configuration with a SATA II version. So for me it wasn't a used drive and therefore I can't tell you history. My understanding is that it is a 5 year warranty unless expressed otherwise. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

In the case of the two drives I just purchased through Amazon but sold/shipped by "New World IT", the drives were manufactured 2-2011 and only have 1 year left on the manufacturer's warranty. Considered returning but since they were so cheap and for the specific purpose I need them for isn't critical, I'm keeping them.

It should recognize is, there should be an updated drive to view it. Check the Seagate website for that.

What i got was a brand new drive but i think only with 1 year warranty. It Works perfectly..

The device I bought was from LaCie, which is currently at the Seagate lab right now because they're attempting to recover my data. I don't know if LaCie's a part of Seagate or not. I'm assuming it is. I wish I could tell you more.

Don't recall. But drive failed within a year or so after purchase (18 months max) , so I wouldn't recommend you buy it.

It's been a while since I ordered this, but I *think* it was the bare drive. Can't be sure, but on another note, I wouldn't recommend Seagate. I own a computer repair shop, and we see more Seagate drives crash than any of the other brands combined. Go with a Western Digital!

Looks like they are using Hitachi. One of my enclosures stopped working so I opened up the case to remove the drive and installed in my computer as an additional internal drive. The drive itself is still working perfectly fine some 4+ years later.

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.

hmmm good question...mine just keeps pluggin along. Since I got this used from some one who clearly could not get it going with the cryptic instructions...I got it for steal (price of the drives).

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!

I could be wrong, but it doesn't appear so. Check out this discussion: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1631920/party-hard-drives-server-warranties.html

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

I'm perplexed why you are asking me that question, for I'm not the person who sold it to you??? However way back I purchase two such hard drives for raid (0) they are operating excellent so far. Now to follow up your question when somebody sell you an Item it doesn't mean it has to specify to be warranted for numbers of Years??? If they tell you it is NEW it means never been opened from the original packaging even if the product was sitting on the shelf for a number of years. I hope that I understood your question correctly. As for the warranty I didn't have to recourse. Sincerly

I'm honestly not sure, as I immediately formatted the drive when I got it. Sorry!

OEM drives in my case, possibly European models not for sale in the US. Not covered by manufacturer's warranty - at least, not on the four drives I purchased and received today (and am sending back tomorrow). Strange that Amazon doesn't require sellers to publish warranty info. It's as if they encourage sales of gray market goods.

The drive I purchased was a 1 TB unit (DOA), from Aeon Micro. WD indicated no warranty, but Aeon shows a 1 year warranty, presumably with them.
