Warranty Question

Hi ppl,

I’ve just bought four WD RE 1tb drives from an online UK retailer.

On delivery I have noticed all drives have a manufacturing date of December 2016, I have used the warranty checker and discovered that all drives warranty expire in February 2022 (under 14 months time).

Speaking with the merchant I bought the drives from they said once they are registered I will receive the full 5 year warranty from WD.

I have registered said drives and the warranty status has not updated, still showing as Feb '22.

Can anybody give me a definite answer on whether these drives are covered from the date of manufacture or the date of purchase.

Many Thanks
Lee

Just keep the invoice (proof of purchase), you’ll be covered
