I bought it from a local wholesaler. I am a retailer. For this particular one, I actually intended to use it myself. Owing to being busy, I had overlooked my own problems though I noticed the problem of the drive not long after I bought it while I had to look after clients’ problems first . This purchase was done more than one year ago. Perhaps this could be their argument. By law here, the suppliers here only need to be responsible for one year warranty.
