One good thing about Seagate is the 5 year warranty, no receipt necessary.
Not true. I have two Seagate HDs that I bought off LEM-Swap that are brand new, both with less than 10 hours total time, manufactured in 2009. I assumed they would be covered by the 5 year warranty, but alas, these drives were removed from external enclosures, and thus, the 5 year warranty was voided. I was so mad I could scream. These HDs are IDENTICAL to every other Seagate HD I've ever seen, and yet because they're not inside the original external enclosure they were sold in they get ZERO warranty even though they're brand spanking new. I don't think this is fair. Their explanation was, "would you warranty a motor that had been removed from it's car", and I said, "when your business is selling motors and not cars I think this answer is yes". It didn't help, I out $250 for brand new Seagate HDs. Buyer beware for used Seagate hardware, even if it's "new".
