G DRIVE® Support & Warranty

What must you do?

If you are having trouble with a product, before seeking limited warranty service, first follow the troubleshooting procedures that HGST or your reseller provides.

To obtain limited warranty service, you must first obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) and ship-to address by contacting G-Technology at g-technology.com/support. Please follow the instructions found on the website. You must return the covered hard disk drive using approved packaging to our logistics center. You must pay any associated transportation charges, duties and insurance in shipping the drive to our logistics center. You should remove all personal information from the product prior to its return.

What will HGST do?

HGST will replace the drive with a functionally equivalent replacement product, transportation prepaid. HGST may replace your product with a product that was previously used, repaired and tested to meet HGST specifications. You receive tile to the replaced product at delivery to carrier at HGST shipping point. You are responsible for importation of the replaced product, if applicable. HGST will not return the original drive to consumers; therefore, the consumer is responsible for moving data to another media before returning. Data Recovery is not covered under this warranty and is not part of the warranty returns process. HGST warrants that the replaced products are covered for the remainder of the original product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater.

How is our liability limited?
