Respectfully, GGD, I followed your links, and I don't see any way that drive could be under an OWC warranty regardless of what sort of package it may have been purchased with.
As pointed out on the previous thread, the hours on it indicate it's been running at least 2.25 years.
I suppose it's possible OWC offered a 3-year "solutions warranty" for some period of time about 2 years ago, but not likely.
No, Black—the screen shot in the previous thread was of my drive. The one above is of my son's drive. That shows 10,813 hours, or 1.23 years run time. However, that's irrelevant, anyway, as the factory warranty is for 3 calendar years, regardless of run time. GGD's point is that it depends on OWC's policy regarding drive warranties, which he says are not obvious. Won't hurt for Andy to ask. If they say, "Go to Seagate," then that's what he'll do.

Got it, thanks.

Sounds good.
