Hi everyone,

I've bought a Samsung 1TB Spinpoint F3 hdd off the member market and when I checked the warranty on the Seagate website I noticed there is still a years warranty left with the drive. Does anyone know if the Samsung hard drive warranty transferable (to me) or is it limited to the person who purchased the drive in the first place.

Cheers :)
 
From the samsung site (to me it reads that it is tranferrable)
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/warranty/warrantyInformation.do?page=POLICY.WARRANTY



Warranty periods and warranty services are intended as a guide only and variations may occur. The warranty period applies from the date of purchase by the first customer and is transferable only between end-users.

The warranty covers manufacturing defects only. Please note that this does not include consumables items such as batteries, bulbs, and ink cartridges unless listed above under 'general information'. The liability of Samsung Electronics (or its appointed maintenance agent) is limited to the cost of repair and/or replacement of the product under warranty. The warranty is invalidated if the defect is caused (howsoever) by misuse, neglect, and tampering or incorrect adjustment. It is invalidated if unauthorized persons carry out any alterations and/or repairs. Also, the warranty is invalidated in the following cases:

For the repair of a domestic product used in a commercial environment
For repair due to incorrect installation in your home
For repair to any product where the serial number has been removed
Where any ancillary equipment not furnished or recommended by Samsung causes problems or damage that is attached to or used in connection with the product.

Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd support a product purchased in Europe if it has an EU Bloc Warranty. This warranty is present where the top of the product warranty card clearly states 'European Bloc'. If the product is purchased in another part of the globe then Samsung may attempt a repair. Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd cannot guarantee the outcome.

To obtain technical assistance or to book a service/repair to your product under warranty, please contact our customer care centre.
To assist our customer service team, please have your model number, serial number and date of purchase ready when calling.
 
When I RMAd two Samsung SpinPoint F1s a couple of years ago, the warranty site simply wanted the drive serials to start the process. It's worth noting that you'll be dealing with Seagate now, but the process should be the same
