I had called the Seagate technical support in the not so distant past to clarify warranty periods.
The customer service agent informed that Seagate had reduced the warranty period from 5 years to 3 years on products purchased after a certain month & year which for some reason, i cannot recollect.
Customers who have purchased Seagate products before the time period which i cannot remember, have & can avail the 5 year warranty.
Please call the Seagate toll free number - 1800 425 4535
& clarify for your sanity!
I may be wrong about the aforementioned claims.
