According to the spec sheet it's one year, which does sound a bit short
by
current standards!

Ohhh .. me too!



Do you know how long the warranty is for?



Is it a typical 3 year warranty that their HDs come with?

I've been using a Linksys NSLU2 on a pair of 300GB in eBuyer's cheap USB
cases.
A bit agricultural but did the job, until one of the cases went down
last
weekend.

I think I'll swap to a pair of these!
