Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Amazon description specifically says: 2-year manufacturer limited warranty. I received this drive today. Before installing this drive, I attempted to register this drive at WDC.COM for warranty coverage. WD site stated that this drive was on OEM product. Returned product to Amazon today. From WDC FAQ: 1. Retail hard drives (Example: WD1200JBRTL) are sold in a retail package and may include the accessories below: Quick Installation Guide Acronis Installation Software (must be downloaded) 2. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) hard drives (Example: WD1200JB) are sold to OEM Computer manufacturers or Distributors in bulk packaging (bare drive only). OEM drives are sold without accessories or installation software. OEM drives may not contain a warranty from Western Digital. When Western Digital sells hard drives to OEM computer manufacturers such as Dell, Compaq, Apple, etc, we sell these drives without warranty. The OEM computer manufacturer would include the hard drive under the warranty of the computer system that the hard drive was installed into. For more information about hard drive warranties, please see our Warranty Policy. If you want a warranty, do not order this drive. .
