Comment on WD Customer care - If your HDD stops working/crashes then call up WD Support, Courier guy comes home & picks up HDD & sends to Delhi, They might replace/repair & send back to your city. It takes around 15 days of time.

The HDD isn't supposed to crash in the first place. HDDs usually need an ULTRA HIGH level of reliability. They contain sensitive data which is often unretrievable when lost.

Does WD warranty have free and highly efficient data recovary mechanism for its customers ?

its Strange but no dealers have WD in stock.

Anyone has an Idea where to find WD in Bangalore ?

Hmmm.. Check in computer warehouse.. they do arrange it for you but they dont have one ready. You can check on SP road. There is a dealer in SP road for the WD hdds.

I personally bought my hard drive 1TB cavior black at ebay and saved more than 1300 RS.
I got the harddrive thats imported on April 2009 as well. Excellent

None of the Hard drive manufacturers provide that facility. They usually route the customers to 3rd party recovery options.

Is this correct ?

100% correct. My 320GB WD HDD went bad within 6 months of usage. Generated an online RMA, got a call from GATI courier for collecting the HDD very next day, sent it for RMA & came back to me via courier within 6 working days flat. Mind you, Seagate doesn't offer this door-to-door pick up & drop facility unless you're in a remote location. This is something which WD & Hitachi provides. For Seagate, you'll manually have to take it to their service centre which is closest to you. In Mumbai, that would equate to Accel Frontline in Saki Naka, Andheri.

Great info Ethan_Hunt

WD is all about comfort too. I really liked it when they come home & pick up. Running to Seagate center will be big headache.

1Q

Once you got your WD HDD back after 6 days, was it brand new HDD ? Did they repair the same old HDD & sent you same piece ? or sent some other HDD with same capacity ?
