Bought a WD Blue 500GB HDD from flipkart. Warranty mentioned in the site: 2 years.
What I actually got? 2 years 3 months.

Is this normal with drives bought from flipkart?

<The reason behind buying HDD from flipkart is the heat for which I can't go to chandni> :oops:

Price: 4082/-
Warranty expiration date: 06/08/2014. :shock:

Ordered on : Saturday.


Another question: It is written importer as : Global Infonet Distribution Pvt Ltd.

As I never own a WD drive before, what is the process of RMA? Any service center in Kolkata? Or do I need to send the drive to Delhi, the main office of importer?

I won't do any RMA now. Now, I'm just knowing the process of RMA.
In future, if I were in a situation when I can't come online but need RMA, these info will help me a lot.
