Seagate將再次更改保固期限
 

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/1...ing_warranties/

Seagate is cutting most Barracuda and Momentus warranty periods down to one year with others moving from five-year warranties to three.

Following on from Western Digital cutting some of its warranty periods to two years, we learn that Seagate is going further. In a letter to its authorised distributors, dated 6 December 2011, the company writes:


Effective December 31, 2011, Seagate will be changing its warranty policy from a 5 year to a 3 year warranty period for Nearline drives, 5 years to 1 year for certain Desktop and Notebook Bare Drives, 5 years to 3 years on Barracuda XT and Momentus XT, and from as much as 5 years to 2 years on Consumer Electronics.

The details of the new warranty periods are:-

* Constellation 2 and ES.2 drives: 3 years
* Barracuda and Barracuda Green 3.5-inch drives: 1 year
* Barracuda XT: 3 years
* Momentus 2.5-inch (5400 and 7200rpm): 1 year
* Momentus XT: 3 years
* SV35 Series - Video Surveillance: 2 years
* Pipeline HD Mini, Pipeline HD: 2 years

Mission-critical and retail products are not affected by this change. The new warranty periods will apply to shipments from 31 December.

Seagate says it is standardising warranty terms "to be more consistent with those commonly applied throughout the consumer electronics and technology industries. By aligning to current industry standards Seagate can continue to focus its investments on technology innovation and unique product features that drive value for our customers rather than holding long-term reserves for warranty returns".

Possible translation: Seagate needs to switch some warranty funding into product development. ®

一般級不管3.5"還是2.5"通通改為1年....未來該不會WD也要跟進?!

可能要停產

改推SSD

改一年!?別鬧了........... :jolin:

等WD併購完日立後，3.5吋硬碟就只剩WD跟SG兩家了，到時就只能看他們要怎麼玩了Orz...

感覺像是想把重心轉去Momentus XT這種混合式跟SSD吧
碟片型的看起來像是不太想做了 :laugh:

SAMSUNG 不是也有生產3.5嗎？

只是台灣沒代理商想代理而已吧

三星硬碟部門賣給Seagate了吧

這個併購案也沒什麼阻力

補罵一下
TMD Seagate
以後都不買你家硬碟 :tu:

手上還有一顆maxtor三年保，這顆保固大概沒人管了

WD 也一樣改了啊 :jolin:

反正以後也只有2家可選了
不然就只能不買了
