Maxtor Reportedly Raises HDD Warranty

- Maxtor Corp. is reportedly boosting warranty of its hard disk drives intended for consumers from one year to three, following the similar move to stretch HDD warranty to five years from the rival Seagate Technology.

Techz - how fast are you typing ? .. I keep finding loads of these, put 'em in Tech to Tech please :)

On the subject matter in hand, I'll just add that ALL the manufacturers have been bumping warranty lengths lately, most notably on SATA stuff in an effort to to give sales a shove as IDE prices keep tumbling, but there's manufacturers offering 3 years on IDE again too - a case of read the fine print ;)

Sry, -ed, but Tech-to-Tech says:

You're a tech and you need an answer quick, post here for quick help from other techs around the globe.

I dont know better ;)

But the Tech lounge says "Everything NOT pertaining to PC/computer support type stuff such as your choice of underwear, your boss or anything else within reason! Topics that are of a sexual or drug related theme will be deleted. No politic threads (only in Politicos). "

So :p ..:D

I think 'practice' here has been to shove anything technical not directly covered elsewhere in Tech to Tech, either that or I've been doing it wrong for 5 years ! ;)

Good to know, from now on...

I was royally pissed when WD dropped the 3 year warranty.

Me too! More so after I got my WD 120GB
