The problem with warranties is that at best they only replace specific loss. Pressure treated wood used to be guaranteed not to rot. So if your fence falls down you have to replace it, but the $5 posts will be free, assuming you saved all of your paperwork.... Great. Likewise with a failed drive. You *might* be covered if you saved receipts, registered online, and all that rigmarole. But you won't be reimbursed for data and time lost.
obviously the warranty won't replace data. how could it?
send in the dead drive, get back a working drive, restore from backup. not a big deal.
Not a big deal. The employees get a short, but much needed vacation while waiting for the arrival of the new drive.
i see you've never run a business.
any company that doesn't have a replacement to use immediately while a broken item is in for repair, regardless of what that item is, is a company that will soon be offering very long unpaid vacations for the entire staff, all at once.Funny, I ask a simple question, and you turn it into a personal attack on my competence. When you try to tell me a computer crash is no big deal, it highlights your ignorance of practicalities.
and if they don't have backups for the data, then that vacation will happen even sooner.
