I had purchased two of the famed 'broken' IBM deskstars of 2001-2002. They have both been RMA'd two times each. Thats 4 seprate RMA's in 2 years. I dont care all that much, IBM/hitachi has been speedy with the replacements. But if i had only a one year warranty I would have had to have purchased two new drives by now. But i STILL have another year on waranty thank goodness. Im not going to buy anymore IDE hard drives now that they all averted to one year. The next drive I buy will be SCSI (these drives have 5 year warrantys and MTBF of 1,200,000 hours and work better anyways)
to answer your question about samsung, their site advertises 3 year parts and labor warranty. However I do know that seagate's website says the same, but they only offer one year, and claim the site has not been updated yet. The only IDE drive you can currently buy for sure and have a 3 year replacement policy is a western digital special edition. Only problem is, you will need it. (the WD SE is becoming dated now anyways)
also, samsung drives are incredibly low end, I wouldnt suggest one.
