Thanks for the help..I have got this new pc as assembled pc from market. So what is the warranty of hdd and how to check that. Like vendor has given warranty for 1 year and after that for the products like hdd and processor, i have to take warrant directly from the company..
Hi arsh854,

May I know what is the name of the hard drive manufacturer? Normally you can check the warranty online from the website of the company. It depends on the model of hard drive that how long will be the warranty.

Hope it helps.
