Warranty on 8TB External Hard Drives


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am planning to purchase two 8TB external hard drives. Drive A will be used to back-up Drive B. 

I have just lost 2GB of movies on an external hard drive and I now want to keep two copies of everything. 

I can purchase either here or in the UK. Prices are better in the UK but I am concerned about the warranty as I expect the drives to fail sometime in the future.

Which companies have the best warranty and are they worldwide cover. For example, If I go back to the UK can I get a Thai purchased drive replaced by Seagate or WD in the UK?

As far as I know hard drive warranties are world-wide. The warranty only covers the drive and not the content. Replacing the drive is the easy part.

The reality of global warranty is that the local distributor only has to send it to the manufacturer. While bought in Thailand most distributor pre-exchange products, like Synnex who swaps Seagate and WD hard drive locally and you have a new drive within 30 minutes or at most a week....
