QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Oct 17 2011, 01:19 PM) Request for an advanced replacement. They will charge your account. Send you a new hdd. Use the same box to send back your defective hdd. They will refund your credit card after receiving your defective hdd. Few days ago,  I planning to RMA my WD studio so I called them regarding the advanced replacement. They said is not available for malaysia. Only available at United States.  Anyway, is there any way beside using postage to WD Singapore because I checked the postage price will cost me more than RM80 due to I'm not on the door-to-door replacement coverage.  btw, should I RMA my WD Green HDD 1TB because got one bad sector? |

QUOTE(kianweic @ Oct 24 2011, 07:32 AM) I RMA-ed my WD Black thru the retailer who sold me. Took about 2 to 3 weeks for a replacement. I bought both hard disk from All It..You should RMA even if its one bad sector. They only cover 1year.. If I wanna send by back them will cost me RM 30/HDD Is there any WD center, so I can walk in and RMA Btw, RMA will replace you a new hard disk or refurbish? |

Woot.. I just called WD RMA department.
They said they are moving from singapore to malaysia next week. Ask me to wait for next week and proceed the RMA by walk in to their service center.  This post has been edited by KKW: Oct 25 2011, 06:22 PM |

I think some reseller will keep some stock after the price hike only they sell Other than the flood shutting down the hdd manufacturers, Nidec is submerged too Nidec supplies HDD motors and has 70% - 80% share of the HDD market It's reads as if all of Nidec's operations is in Thailand, I'm not very sure about that, but if that is true, then you can buy HDD now, sell off 2 months later and make huge profit |
