Singapore Various Hdd RMA Procedure

Quoted from HWZ forum of various brands hard disk RMA places you can send your failure hard disk in Singapore. Just online found out my 120GB has already out of warranty! Surprisingly, my just-failed RMA-ed 250GB hard disk still got warranty.

Saw people on forum sharing experience said that he sent in 200GB IDE for RMA and got 400GB SATA in return! Sound to me seem more like Seagate making delivery mistakes. But if so, that really rocks.

I keep too many dead hard disks at home. It would be nice if the hard disk manufacturers have some recycle program for users to send in their old hard disk and get some $$ rebate.
