Yes, I've had problem with my unit and just sent it to Western Digital and they've sent me back a new one.

Yes. I have purchased WD products for years and they have all had warranty from Western Digital. You have to be sure and register your product with WD.

No, I don't believe so, at least nothing I found in the box to lead me to believe it was under warranty.

I have not had a warranty problem, however the costumer service is excellent. I was helped in setting up my unit. Believe you can return also if there is a problem.

Yes it does but I don't recommend it bc the connection is awful. Go with Western Digital.

We own this unit but have not had a problem with it. It's a large company, I don't believe I'd be worried about not having the warranty honored.

You should login to the Western Digital website and pose the question to their customer support or tech support.

I used it with a Seagate FreeAgent device and it worked. I have not had a need to use it on a Western Digital, sorry.

The bad drive can be replaced while the unit is running and will rebuild itself, as long as the "Mirroring" default was not changed. New drives can be ordered from the Western Digital site.

I do not know the warranty on the unit is, all I can say I have had it for sometime. I am very pleased with the unit!

This isn't the place to ask for tech support. If you believe you have a problem with the drive, you should contact Western Digital - support.wdc.com

I'm not sure about the warranty but tech support helped me extremely well. You should have any problems with the hardware though.

I don't know why someone would say that. I have found them to be the most reliable drives I have ever owned. In fact, I can honestly say that I have never had to replace a Western Digital RE drive because of a failure. We have replaced some that were small enough to be obsolete, but in my recollection have never replaced one for any other reason in 9 years of business. Of course, your mileage may vary. We do make sure to keep them cool.

That may be true, but I've noticed that Seagate gives you a five-year warranty while Western Digital gives you only one. As long as you don't keep your ONLY copy of something important on the drive, I would go with the Seagate knowing that you'll have at least five years of replacements in case it fails.

I suggest you contact Western Digital. I'm sure the'll put you through to their R&D; people to answer your question.

I've chosen Western Digital because of reliability. I've owned 4 WD drives: An 80GB, a 160GB, a 500GB, and this 1TB, and haven't had one of them fail on me. But as another user stated, WD sends just the drive itself. You'll have to download software, find screws, etc

I just purchased a WD RE 4T drive from Amazon (Amazon reseller Aeon Micro Inc.). I went to the Western Digital site to register my drive and after entering the serial number, the registration confirmation indicated that my warranty is for 1 year. After registering, the only option provided on the WD site is to extend the warranty for one additional year for $24.95. The drive appears to be a new OEM drive. The 5 year limited warranty indicated on the Amazon product description is false. It is 1 year with an option to buy 1 additional year. Other than the misleading warranty information the product seems great and a good value. I just purchased a WD RE 4T drive from Amazon (Amazon reseller Aeon Micro Inc.).

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.
