Other drives cost similar.
Isn't 2 years warranty a industry standard for such USB drives?
Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.
It is cheaper than the hard drive by itself and the hard drive model itself does not offer any warranty.

I refer to other USB hard drives. What do you mean no warranty ?

EDITED: Checked with my sources. Only the US sold drives offer a warranty, the ones in the EU only offer one if bought in combination with a system or external enclosure like this one. If the drive is bought seperately, only the legal minimum warranty can be applied - and in Germany there is no legal groundworks for a reseller to have to offer any kind of warranty for example.

Aso for other USB 3.0 hard drives:
http://geizhals.at/eu/?cat=hdx25&sor...USB+3.0~6_1000 the Verbatim is the cheapest listed here for example.
