Seagate is reducing the warranties of some of its hard disk drives. The company actually did this to more product collections that Western Digital did.
WD changed the plans for Scorpio Blue, Caviar Blue and Caviar Green, from 3-year to 2-year warranties, or will do so starting January 2012. Seagate's move consisted of the some Desktop and Notebook Bare Drives going from five to one year, Nearline units switching from 5 to 3 years and Barracuda XT and momentus XT drive changing from 5 to 2 years.
