It has been a year since I returned it to Amazon where I purchased it.If memory serves me, I believe there was a warranty on the product.

I don't know. The hard drive I bought was brand new. You could contact them and ask.

There is, and has been for many years, a 5 year warranty on Enterprise class drives. I'm unclear what you mean when you say "official". If you mean does the warranty originate from the manufacturer, yes.

Of coarse there's a manufacturer's warranty. You just go to Seagate.com as the warranty card in the box instructs you to and register the drive, you will need model and serial numbers. Keep in mind that with like with any drive warranty it only covers the drive and not the data stored on it, so if there is valuable data that you can't afford to lose then you will need another drive holding the backup of that data so if you need a replacement you will still have your data backed up. This goes with any drive, also with any drive do not allow your drive to fall off a table or subject it to a shock like fall, hit, or drop something on it. Just like any delicate item you can't expect it to work after sudden trauma like that.

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.

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

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 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).

No the hard drive doesn't work anymore and it's less than a years time. Also wd would not rma the product for me.

Generally, Western Digital, like Seagate and others, limits their warranty to physical replacement of the drive if found to be defective. The warranty does not cover data recovery. The 3 year warranty was a positive in my decision to buy.

Not that I recall. If you mess with the housing you will invalidate the warranty which they have shortened to 1 year. I went through three of these in four months on warrnaty as they had to be replaced. The final replacement, the 4th, lasted one week past its 1 yr warranty. Seagate has lost my business: it should lose yours.

Thanks for responding to my review. The warranty is 12 Months. Most of the manufacturers are moving to that length.UPDATE: I reread the warranty (very small print). It says that the drive itself is warranted for 2 years, while the "other parts" were warranted for 1 year. What this means is pretty confusing; the warranty statement was obviously not meant for this particular unit - it is a generic statement. I would stick with 1 year as definite, but possibly two years.

I am not sure. But like you I am also having problems with my hard drive. It has to be replaced.

According to Newegg and other online stores, all sizes have a 3 year warranty (which makes sense since they're competing with WD Red which have a 3 year warranty). I'd call Seagate if you want to know for sure...

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.....
