Is there a manufacturer's (hitachi) warranty or other warranty? if so, what is it?

No warranty information came with mine when I bought it, so I don't think so

warranty comes from seller... I bought two drives, and they were both date coded Oct. 2009. Well out of Manuf warranty. One of my drives was defective, and I didn't bother sending it back.

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.

No warranty that I know of. I used one for around 10 months and it was still working when I stopped using it

For many years, this was the Hitachi Magic Wand. The manufacturer decided to simplify its name to Magic Wand. They also updated the packaging of the item. Inside of the items box you will find a warranty card with a web address to the manufacturers web site. There they provide an in depth explantion of the changes to the prodcut.

Not sure but Kenwood does have a registry for their products which implies a warranty of some kind. I can say after almost a year that these are very good subs... especially for the price. While making your decision keep in mind that companies that don't spec things like voice coil diameters or Thiele/Small parameters (which Kenwood does) should be ignored.

My installation was into a 1997. All I know is that hitachi used to be made in Japan but in my model year, they started being made in China. The wiring for my install was exactly the same as the original. There were no instructions included but you may be able to find them on the web either Google or YouTube. I recall that fitting it into the limited space was a pain but not impossible.

I bought an M72e in June and called the IBM help desk last week with request for help. The rep looked up the serial number and said the machine was under warranty. So, there is a warranty but I don't know what type or how long.

I emailed the seller, and they said there is no manufacturer's warranty. Too bad! I've heard so many reports that they don't last that I want one with a warranty as well.

I did not receive any information on a warranty, however it works fine and I am happy with it. It has plastic parts in the rear of the unit, but that should last a long time. Not sure where you find any replaceable parts if needed.hope this will help.Eddie

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.

No warranty that I know of. Just directions. Call Amazon if you have a problem as they may be able to help you.

I think it was a year or two, but warranty is valid if you use it in Japan... IF you are using it the States you don't get warranty I think. You Might want to double check with one who sales it though.

I am sure there is but my unit works so good, I don't need the warranty! Check with the manufacturer.

I honestly don't know if there was a warranty. I have had mine for almost a year and have had no problems. Sorry ,but that's about all I can tell you.

China, not Japan. Hitachi corporate is in Japan. Read the label carefully. My 15 year old version was made in Singapore.

It has a warranty, but I can't remember what it is. I have several of these and they work great, so at the price ($8-$10) I don't worry about it.

I received a 2TB Hitachi on June 29th, 2010, and it was RETAIL packaging. I ordered direct from Amazon, not a reseller. I had no issues with the drive, and it is still running strong. It seems that some of the 1 star reviewers later in July got non-Retail boxes. I bought mine when Hitachi was offering a rebate, so I bet Amazon sold out of Retail packaged units by the time July rolled around. Looks like they have the item under investigation now...probably for the packaging.
