5.2.7Product warranty

Beginning on the date of shipment to the customer and continuing for the period specified in your purchase contract, Seagate warrants that each product (including components and subassemblies) that fails to function properly under normal use due to defect in materials or workmanship or due to nonconformance to the applica- ble specifications will be repaired or replaced, at Seagate’s option and at no charge to the customer, if returned by customer at customer’s expense to Seagate’s designated facility in accordance with Seagate’s warranty procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repair or replacement item to the customer. For more detailed warranty information, refer to the standard terms and conditions of purchase for Seagate products on your pur- chase documentation.

The remaining warranty for a particular drive can be determined by calling Seagate Customer Service at 1-800-468-3472. You can also determine remaining warranty using the Seagate web site (www.seagate.com). The drive serial number is required to determine remaining warranty information.

Shipping

When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep your original box. Seagate approved containers are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved container voids the drive warranty.

Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in tran- sit. Contact your authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.

Product repair and return information

Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives. Seagate does not sanction any third-party repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory seal voids the warranty.

Seagate has established itself as a leader in data storage solutions, and among its high-performance offerings are the Seagate ST3300056FC (FDE), ST3146756FC (FDE), and ST3450056FC (FDE) drives. These drives are part of Seagate's enterprise-class, 3.5-inch form factor family, providing robust data security, reliability, and performance for demanding data center environments.

The ST3300056FC boasts a capacity of 3TB, making it ideal for applications that require substantial storage space. With a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this drive delivers rapid data access speeds and high throughput, catering to the needs of enterprise workflows and data-intensive applications. The FDE (Full Disk Encryption) feature ensures that all stored data is encrypted, providing an added layer of protection against unauthorized access, which is critical for businesses handling sensitive information.

Similarly, the ST3146756FC offers a 1.4TB capacity, also spinning at 7200 RPM and utilizing a 6Gb/s SAS interface. As with its counterpart, this drive incorporates FDE technology, making it an excellent choice for environments that prioritize data security while maintaining performance. The SAS interface enhances connectivity options and further improves reliability and data integrity, essential for mission-critical applications.

The ST3450056FC, with a capacity of 4.5TB, stands out as a powerful option for storage needs that exceed traditional offerings. With the same 7200 RPM spindle speed and 6Gb/s SAS interface, it ensures optimal performance across various workloads. The FDE functionality further enhances its appeal, making it suitable for organizations that must comply with stringent data protection regulations.

All three drives are built with Seagate's advanced technologies, including PowerBalance, which maximizes the spindle performance while optimizing power consumption and thermal management. They are also designed with vibration tolerance, enhancing their reliability in multi-drive systems and environments where space and airflow may be limited.

In summary, the Seagate ST3300056FC, ST3146756FC, and ST3450056FC drives exemplify cutting-edge engineering, catering to enterprise needs with their impressive capacities, robust performance, and built-in security. They are well-suited for organizations that prioritize reliability and data integrity, making them a vital component of modern storage infrastructures.
