As recently announced, beginning January 3rd, the warranty period of consumer electronics, notebook and bare desktop drives will drop from 5 to 3 years. The warranty of enterprise storage and retail products will remain unchanged.

According to Seagate, with this move it will be in line with industry standard warranty offerings and be able to "make other aspects of our customer and warranty support programs more attractive, with negligible impact on customer product return needs."

Seagate has been going down the drain since they moved to china... my friend reciently bought a 500GB SATA from them, in 2 months it failed. Never Ever Buy a 500GB hdd new for 60$, if its at that price, theres something wierd going on. yes Western Digital FTW.

$60 for 500GB is quite normal lol.

Seagate never moved to China. It was founded in Cali and they have facilities all around the world just like it's competitor Western Digital.
