I was very careful not to break any seals or do anything that would void the warranty. Though I'm assuming that I'm going to need to provide some sort of original receipt or proof-of-purchase to prove the drive is still under warranty, which unfortunately I may not have. I just moved about a month and a half ago and a lot of old receipts and invoices went straight to the dumpster rather than come with me. I'm afraid the invoice for this drive may have fallen victim to the same fate. I've been unable to locate it thusfar. -Nat -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
