This is only for their low end drives, their high end drives retain a 3 year warranty.

WD is following suit, as both companies are trying to separate their model lines.

I talked to a Maxtor CSR when I first heard about this and he told me that this would just apply to their OEM drives. The retail kits still retain the 3 year warranty.

I just got a D740X 40Gig a little over a week ago....do I still have 3 year warranty?

Cause if not I'm pretty p/o'd maxtors warranty service is half the reason I bought the drive....
