Draz, the TT article mentions this -
To avail for the extended warranty, it will be necessary for either the reseller or the customer to log on to the company website and register the serial number of the hard drive.

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

After few days of searching in Nehru Place, my hardware dealer was unable to find Seagate 250GB SATA-II hardisk (7200.10 with 16 MB buffer), so he got Western Digital 250GB SATA-II (with 16 MB buffer).

I just wanted to check whether this Western Digital harddisk is performance wise good...

I think the model no is WD2500KS

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....

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

duh...I think someone's already answered your query pal...
 
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 :)
