Service and Support

Service Policy

Repairs to any DiamondMax™ VL 17 drive should be made only at an authorized Maxtor repair facility. Any unauthorized repairs or adjustments to the drive void the warranty.

To consistently provide our customers with the best possible products and services, Maxtor developed the Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS) program. Through the ongoing TCS process, Maxtor employees take direct responsibility for every customer’s level of satisfaction – with Maxtor technology, price, quality, delivery, service and support.

No Quibble® Service

Another TCS feature is Maxtor’s No Quibble® Service policy. By minimizing paperwork and processing, No Quibble Service dramatically cuts the turnaround time normally required for repairs and returns. Here’s how it works:

1.Customer calls 1-800-2MAXTOR for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and provides a credit card number,

2.Maxtor ships a replacement drive within 2 business days, and

3.Customer returns the original drive and credit card draft is destroyed.
