Available Parts Replacement Offerings

Choose a Replacement Option to Match Your Business Needs
Your data is important – it’s required to run your business. When parts inside your storage platforms fail, it’s critical to get them replaced without affecting your business. Additionally, downtime can be costly. Government and regulatory requirements can make returning a storage device for warranty replacement difficult to manage. To help you mitigate these business challenges, Western Digital offers two part replacement options for purchase to complement Standard Warranty:

Advanced Replacement Option (ARO) – Upon a customer requesting a part replacement, Western Digital will ship the replacement part in advance of the defective part being returned. Customer then has 30 days from receipt of the replacement part to return the defective part.

Non-Return Option (NRO) – By providing a certificate of destruction, in lieu of the physical return of the hard disk drive or SSD, the customer can dispose of the replaced drives instead of returning them per standard warranty terms.

Highlights

• Advanced-replacement option enables customers to rapidly recover from outages and minimize downtime
• Non-Return Option simplifies management of drives that may contain data subject to government and regulatory requirements
• Available for purchase at the same time as covered products are purchased
• Effective for the duration of the warranty period
