OWC Terms, Conditions and Policies

• New Replacement Limited Warranty: 3 Years
• Free Advance Cross-Ship Limited Warranty: 1 Year
• Advance Replacements require a credit card for authorization and may be subject to additional terms and conditions

OWC is proud to offer an extended replacement window of 3 years on select new internal hard disk drives* (unless otherwise noted in the product description). Once a return authorization number has been issued and we receive the problematic drive back in the same condition as it was sent, you will get a brand new replacement drive, rather than a factory refurbished drive.

• Models: HIT0S04005, HIT0S04007, HIT0S04012

*Please note this policy only applies to mechanical disk drives and does not apply to solid-state drives.

To get you back up and running quickly in the event of an issue, OWC offers a cross-ship option within 1 year from the date of purchase.

This Limited Warranty applies only to the products listed above. The Limited Warranty does not apply to any other OWC hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with OWC hardware.
