Another interesting angle on the warranty is that buying a bare drive and putting it in an enclosure yourself usually gets you a better warranty - a bare Seagate hard drive will come with a 3 or 5 year warranty (pretty sure the Momentus line is 5 years), compared to 2 years on their pre-assembled consumer lineup.
