683261	2008-10-26 21:39:00	Add to above Post 10 From a test report Site: Despite its apparently improved reliability, the Caviar SE16 750GB's warranty coverage is limited to either one or three years, depending on how you buy the drive. Somewhat counter-intuitively, retail drive kits are only covered for a single year, with three years of coverage limited to bare drives. That discrepancy is odd, but since enthusiasts typically buy bare drives, we're getting the better end of the deal. However, even a three-year warranty looks a little stingy next to the five years of coverage you get with any of Seagate's hard drives and with Western Digital's own enterprise-class products. When asked why it hasn't expanded its five-year warranty to include desktop products, Western Digital told us the additional cost just isn't worth it. Edited: Just checked on My Vendors sites - 3 year warranty on WD's and 5 on Seagates.	wainuitech (129)
