Seagate Updates Warranty Terms for Selected Bare Drive Products Starting in 2009, Seagate will be making some important changes to its limited warranty terms for selected bare drive products. For products purchased on or after January 3, 2009, the limited warranty period for consumer electronics, notebook and personal storage bare drives sold will be changed from 5 to 3 years. Seagate believes that the new warranty period and terms better reflect current industry standards. Seagate enterprise drives and Seagate and Maxtor external retail products that have 5-year warranty periods will not be affected by this change.
