Actually, news within the last 30 days reports that many hard drive
manufacturers are reducing their warranties to 1 year. This includes
Western Digital. Those that haven't announced yet are sure to follow. IF I
recall the article correctly, the first type to get the lower warranty are
the OEM drives for "white" boxes, i.e. the typical small vender.

For starters, the vendor lied. WD offers a 3 year warranty on US drives.
The WD would have cost more, so there should be a refund on the Samsung
substitute. Samsung now makes some good stuff (I love the 955DF .20 color
monitor, but I have no experience with their hard drives.
