That article there only links to one other article, which links back to the first as a reference, so that's a bit random, but if it's true, that's a bit of a pain. :p Guess it is a good way to save some money though.	wratterus (105)

1254726	2012-01-18 02:38:00	Sorry to say, but thats old news ;) Take a look at the date of the article - Ascent's newsletter, December last year. WD now have 2 year for the standard drives, Caviar Green,CaviarBlue where the Caviar Black,VelociRaptor and enterprise drives still have 5 year warranties.	wainuitech (129)
