I just bought a WD enterprise ultrastar 8tb"retail" drive for $260 from a trustworthy site b&h and wd's site won't let me register it its says "either the drive is oem or the warranty is voided".
The drive was sealed in a static wd bag and in a retail box.
Even the wd site has the drive in they're system and says the warranty is good for 5yrs but it also says to make sure to register it below and then it won't register.
The good people at b&h said that they would exchange the drive.
so at that price to be having an issue
Should i take the chance on wd enterprise again or should i exchange for a different brand ?
Thanks
Edit: i opened a support ticket days ago and have received no response (including pics of receipt,box,static sleave etc.
