Hi did you buy this drive or did it come with the HDD receiver if it came with the receiver you would look to them for the warranty. To check the warranty status you can go to this page and enter your serial number http://support.wdc.com/warranty/index_end.asp?lang=en . Do not post your hard drive serial number so others can see it for example your link gives that to anyone. If it is still under warranty you can start the rma process from the same page.
