Seems WD warranty is only covered if you buy the disks directly from them, and is only for replacement of drive and nothing else. So, not sure if I would even call that a warranty? Not even sure how long WD warranty actually is since disk has date of 09Sept2022, so it isn't even a year old?? Will definitely have to create a spreadsheet with seller and serial number and date.
