Hi [MENTION=125148]Cyanide[/MENTION],
Normally, the warranty might start from the manufacture date. If you have registered the WD product online, then the warranty starts from the date of purchase. I’d suggest you, after buying the product, just register your product with us.
For more information about WD product registration, you can refer to the link below.
