This is not a new Drive, Western Digital will nor warranty for five years
I purchased this drive as being new with a five year warranty. I received it in record time and Registered as soon as I got it. Western Digital would only warranty it for 34 days. I spent almost a month going back and forth with the live chat on WD's service site before I finally found out that the reason it was not given the five year warrranty was because in WD's own words: "According to our records, serial number WMC6N0L8XADY is a replacement product for another customer and is not eligible for warranty update..."
I'm sending it back for a refund. Thanks Amazon for your service, not so much for Viixim for selling it as new when it's not.
