shipped from amazon SG or US? .... cos i saw on amazon sg that the shipped from amazon us is at a better price + discount if buy more pieces. But i am unsure the warranty can be registered in sg... hence need advise from those who bought from sg site but shipped from amazon US

 

[ragnarok95]

Sorry mine was from SG.

You can try to ask seagate. I ask them about my warranty and they reply back quite fast.

i thinking geting enterprise HDD from ebay.com which is 8tb

they say warranty only to US so i need to ship back to US or is there a netural country i ship back like taiwan?

 

[existential_reality]

Alot of harddisk sold by resellers on ebay and sometimes even amazon are Oem drives. Especially enterprise drives which accompany large data centre purchases. The drives if not needed are then removed for secondary market sale and their warranty is only honored by the manufacturer of the equipment (i,e Dell IBM etc). So you be going thru the reseller who will go thru the equipment maker then to Seagate.

Best to not take a chance

You can check Seagate warranty from the link below.

Based on S/no. If result is lesser than mentioned warranty. Seagate will base on purchase date. Keep purchase details on hand.

Proven Seagate is still bad. I use WD even green 10 years already still ok.

The quality of Seagate drives has improved a lot over the years. You can check out Backblaze's stats. One of the drives in my rig is a Seagate Barracuda which has been problem-free for a couple of years.

My last four HDDs have all been WD though. It's more a matter of price at that time rather than any preference for WD or Seagate.
