A recent review of this SSD shows that it has a Drive Lifetime of 80TB written. Will its 5-year warranty be still valid after written 80TB?

I would say that only the manufacturer can answer your question. How would they determine if your drive failed prematurely or used up it's 80TB of writes???

Hi, unfortunately I'm not able to ensure how long it would last but I can tell you, I've been dealing with Seagate drives for years and I have never had a problem. I've been using this particular one for a couple of months now and it has been working perfectly. It is powered externally, not thru the USB, that's one thing that guarantees a better performance and long-lasting life.

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 do not know where those drive are OEM or not. I have not carefully check out the warranty too. But, it works so far.

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.

My fifth generation's hard drive is on the way out after two and a half years. I had a 4th generation that lasted less than two years before the drive died, luckily covered by credit card extended warranty. I don't think these things are great buys if you expect them to last more than 3 years.

Yes, I think the one (1) year warranty is correct. I replaced my harddrive recently, 1.3 years after purchase, but I think that may be due to a bad virus that my firewall & virus program didn't catch. I used that opportunity and ut in a larger and faster HD, which made the laptop even faster. After 1.5 years the laptop battery is still lasting between 4 to 5 hours, which is still a great performance.

The drives I got have a Dec, 2009 build date, so if there were actually a 5 year warranty, the warranty would expire Dec, 2014. However, the drives were surplus Dell Enterprise branded products, and my previous experience with WDC is that products that are sold under another brand name are only under warranty to the original purchaser (in this case, Dell). Since I did not purchase the drives from Dell, that would mean that they are sold as is (no warranty).

Western Digital's support portal doesn't say, and honestly once the drive dies your warranty is forever impacted, as you only have a year from the refurbished drive before it's no longer supported. In the review I didn't clarify the seller, the seller was EOnline. When I ordered it it was posted as a WD1500HLHX, now my review is showing under a 600GB model so perhaps I'm not the only one they were making that mistake with.

This is what it says on the warranty sheet: " *Sandisk's 5-year Limited Warranty*: The Sandisk SSD is covered by this warranty for five (5) years from the date of purchase, subject to the applicable warranty from terms and conditions, as defined in www.sandisk.com/wug*5-Year warranty in regions not recognizing "Limited". * "So, I guess just go on their website and check it out? Hope that helps!

The one I bought was brand new and had the 5 year warranty. I have since upgraded to an SSD drive and this is my primary back up that I put in a hard drive enclosure.

depending on the wear level a 64 GB drive should last a basic install a decently long time. as long as you limit the write-wear that you stress on it, it will survive.

I don't know that, but I would seriously look at the rating on this drive. Mine died an early death and I'm not the only one this has happened to.

Most of the manufacturers have done away with the 5 year warranties on the majority of their drives. This one only comes with a 1 year warranty. Some of the better quality, heavier duty drives come with a 3 year warranty, but you typically pay a lot more for those drives. Check newegg. They may have one with a better warranty in your price range.

Depends on how it's used. SSDs wear out based on the number of reads and writes. Minimum for a typical user is 3 years.

I am not sure since I purchased a 2 yr warranty when I bought my Seagate which is so dependable.If you have anyproblem with a Seagate and also have a year subscription to Carbonite, their customer care with solve any problem you have with the external hard drive which the Carbonite service requires.

I installed a Samsung 840 1TB SATA and an Atlas 480GB MSATA in mine, myself, giving me 1.5TB of 6GB/sec SSD speed. Yes the laptop is still covered under the warranty, just not the drive(s). FYI its LIGHTNING fast, and VERY easy to install the drives, just remove the bottom (6 torx screws) and 4 screws for the SATA and 1 screw for the MSATA
