Question 1

how long is the warranty offered on these drives, as they are refurbished and by who?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure it either 90 days or 6 months. The way you can truly find out is go to WD's website and key in the serial number. It should tell you the warranty date.

Question 2

I've seen cases where the 90 day warranty is not honored;  instead, it is summarily knocked down to 30 days.    How often and why does this happen?     Question 2:  who does the refurbishing?

Accepted Answer
