[硬體] WD將縮短Green和Blue的保固到兩年

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/12/15/wd_warranty_period_cuts/

Western Digital is cutting the distribution warranty period for Caviar Blue, Caviar Green and Scorpio Blue drives from three to two years.

Channel partners have been sent a letter from SelectWD explaining this, which says Caviar Black and Scorpio Black drives will continue to enjoy a five-year warranty. We understand WD's AV drives and its external drives have unchanged warranty periods.


The SelectWD letter says:

    This new warranty policy will be effective for drives shipped from January 2nd, 2012. It is important that you take a moment to update your website(s) and collateral to reflect this change for effected drives shipped after January 1st, 2012.

    All drives shipped to distributors prior to Jan. 2nd 2012 will retain the current warranty terms. Because of existing inventory in the distribution channel there will be a short period of time when some drives with a 3-year warranty will be sold at the same time as drives with a 2-year warranty.

    If you have any doubt about the warranty of a drive you purchased, you can go to support.wdc.com, select Warranty and RMA Services and proceed to the Warranty Check page.

The letter goes on to say: "In the near future we will be unveiling an extended warranty offering with special pricing."

We have asked WD for comment but the company wasn't able to immediately respond.

繼Seagate之後,WD也要開始縮短保固了..

生意難做@@?
哀~~~保固越做越短真的很心酸= =a

趁著泰國淹大水,找個正當理由跟進Seagate的作法是吧....
3.5吋硬碟被兩大廠壟斷、日立被併吞的情況下,消費者還能哪裡撿便宜呢~

TOP

言下之意就是:「反正硬碟不會活過兩年,壞了買新的吧,不給維修了www」
這樣嗎OAO!?

TOP

如果改成兩年
價位能在降下來就還可以接受
現在的硬碟
不一次買兩顆互相備份還真不放心

TOP

說實在的現在改成兩年
買來買去都是這兩家,還能選什麼品牌,跟保固
這樣對消費者有點說不過去

硬碟正式被定為消耗品了 (雖然從以前就就快要認定他是消耗品了就是)

不過這樣看來,以後不來個兩顆硬碟或者多重備份,應該會每天過得心驚膽跳然後某一天忽然很歡樂XD

不曉得大家的硬碟平均壽命是多長....到目前為止買過四顆硬碟, 唯一陣亡的是一顆Seagate的硬碟(得年6.5歲...), 然後壞掉的時候手邊早就有更大的硬碟了....

手邊有一顆WD 640G
壽命剛好屆滿3年.....
每天讀寫約為5G左右
