So i checked my S/N and whatnot and it seems my drive IS still under warranty till Aug 2013. Now the crappy (IMO) part.

First off its a Seagate drive, not a WD. Secondly, they want some bullshit 2 inch thick foam rubber holder thing to accept warranty. Where can i find these in Canada, and do I even need to use it or not? http://www.reflexpackaging.com/index...103&Itemid=110 thats what they want to return the drive.
