yeah…but the warranty may be different for different regions.

heres an article in TT . A bit old but useful.

Techtree.com India > News > Hardware > WD Raises Warranty to Five Years

Also the stickker on my HDD says 5 year - onsite warranty. Unless i am seing things, i will confirm this by opening my cabinet and check again( dunno when that will be :)) - but the lazy guys always buy WD :wink:

22

Draz, the TT article mentions this -

So you will have to open your cabby after all :face_with_tongue:

23

Well, i’ll try to register as soon as i get the drive in my hands :slight_smile:

24

@Montylee How much did you pay for this HDD…i also want one…

25

Most probably my pc stuff will arrive 2day or 2morrow then i can tell u the exact price.

26

Got the WD 2500KS 2day :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: . I registered on the WD website and it’s showing the warranty as 5 years. Here’s the image link:

Abt the price. Well i have got all the PC components but don’t know the exact price bcoz i haven’t paid a single rupee.

I’ll update this thread as soon as i get the exact price

Oh Man! you know how crampy my cabinet place is…i hate to get uder that desk of mine.

neways…thx for the info

Atleast now my cabby doesnt zap so i can touch it easily ..:slight_smile:

Its a great hard disk, just neck and neck with the hitachi. I’ve bought one (WD2500KS) and am very satisfied…Price was 4.8K in August (Mumbai)
@ Chaos wrong buddy…I got a 5 year warranty back in August on the same drive. Its part of their door to door replacement scheme. And they’ve sexed up their RMA dept in India as well…

Well, that’s gr8 news… :blush: :blush: :blush:

If some one knows, please tell me the dealer for western digital hdds in nehru place…

Is this drive better than Seagate 7200.10 250GB SATA in terms of both performance and reliability?
Yes or No?

32

duh…I think someone’s already answered your query pal…

33

Could that “someone” please repeat the verdict for my sake…

34

Seagate is faster, but the Hitachi is more reliable :slight_smile:

35

does WD fit in between these two?

36

If you are talking about WD2500KS, it’s performance is similar to the Hitachi , though it hasn’t got NCQ it doesn’t matter in single user environment :slight_smile:

37

ejactly..also these two run cooler than seagate’s…
