5 years at certain shop. 2 days ago I ask some of the shop and they said no more 5 years but when I check the warranty at home via Seagate Warranty Checker .. ya da ya da .. 5 years .. tongue.gif~ until 2013.

Factory date : 26 December 2008
Dateline for warranty : 26 December 2013

R u sure is SD1A? wat model is tat? is it for 1TB hdd or other capacity? 7200.12 or still 7200.11? please give us more clue so tat we can guest so wat is the possible release firmware.....

if they release the SD1A, then most of us can flash our own already... dont need to wait for the slow response from the seagate......

7200.11 - ST3500320AS (500GB) - SD1A . Most of the shop have it ..

It's the same one like Microsoft .. you can try to chat with their Customer Service .. most of the guidance or the URL they give at last go to the pay service method .. if you insist to ask for some guidance or help for free even it's not your mistake, you will get an unexpected answer .. brows.gif

Tell them your 4 of your HDD with a new update of SD1A is failing after updating. Then, they are going into chaos again and new improved version will come out. Evil .. Evil .. tongue.gif~

Which one is better, send for RMA and let them swap it with a second hand certified repaired HDD with the new sticker SD1A, and then sell it or reflash the old thing SD15 to SD1A and keep it myself .. confuse confuse .. hmm.gif
