Western Digital is cutting the distribution warranty period for Caviar Blue,
Caviar Green and Scorpio Blue drives from three to two years.

Channel partners have been sent a letter from SelectWD explaining this, which
says Caviar Black and Scorpio Black drives will continue to enjoy a five-year
warranty. We understand WD's AV drives and its external drives have unchanged
warranty periods.

硬碟保固期將從三年縮至兩年。

受影響的： 藍標和綠標(Caviar Blue,Caviar Green與Scorpio Blue)
不受影響的：黑標(Caviar Black與Scorpio Black )、影音碟(AV drives)和外接式硬碟

The SelectWD letter says:

  This new warranty policy will be effective for drives shipped from January
  2nd, 2012. It is important that you take a moment to update your website(s)
  and collateral to reflect this change for effected drives shipped after
  January 1st, 2012.

  All drives shipped to distributors prior to Jan. 2nd 2012 will retain the
  current warranty terms. Because of existing inventory in the distribution
  channel there will be a short period of time when some drives with a 3-year
  warranty will be sold at the same time as drives with a 2-year warranty.

  If you have any doubt about the warranty of a drive you purchased, you can go
  to support.wdc.com, select Warranty and RMA Services and proceed to the
  Warranty Check page.


  從2012年1月2日開始出貨者將採用新的保固期，在此之前送至代理商者將保有原來的保
  固期，但因代理商庫存之故，將有短暫時間為3年和2年期者同時在市場上販售。

  如有任何疑問，請至support.wdc.com網頁查詢。


The letter goes on to say: "In the near future we will be unveiling an extended
warranty offering with special pricing."

We have asked WD for comment but the company wasn't able to immediately respond
.

未來將提供特別定價的延長保固版本。

WD官方對此消息尚未回應。

看來WD也跟進Seagate，但關於RMA有無變更可能要等官方正式消息出來才知道
