Hi,

I sell seagates to the dealers every day here in the us, as we area pc
distibutor,  and it's 1 yr since October.  This is for IDE drives any
speed.

Thanks and have a Great Day!

To Joe Lore,

Seagate still offers 3 year.  They were forced to change back from 1
year to 3 year I think (by lost of market share).  At least here in
Australia, Seagate changed back short after their "1 year" policy turned
many dealers away (not all models, but all 7200 rpm drives have 3
years).  I personally saw WD JB drives (8M buffer + 3 years warranty)
took over a lot of Seagate/Maxtor sales, because of the short 1 year
warranty policy.  And almost all of our WD sales are JB drives, plus,
now, there are barely anyone wants any Maxtor drives anymore.

To Victor,

Yes, all USB2 devices works on USB1, just slower (to USB1 speed).

To Paul Traynor,

Yes, that is what these cases designed for.
