Just saw that Western Digital is going 1yr warranty on it's Protege & Caviar drives. They can be upgraded to a higher warranty for some extra $$. The new Caviar SE is 3yr warranty

Going to research a bit more but has Maxtor gone 1yr for ALL of it's HDs? Anyone know?

Also there are rumours that Seagate is going 1yr too....

If this is true what HD's do we have left? frown

Well if this is true then you just know that almost ALL PC's manufactured wether it be Dell for their "high-end" computers or Gateway/HP with their "low-end" computers...they'll all be using the HD's with the 1yr warranty. Guess these companies can expect alot more consumer dissatisfaction. laugh
