I'm not sure about how long their warranty is, but if you call them,
they'll tell you based on the drive part number.  I actually liked their
replacement policy.  The last time I had one of their drives go bad, it
was my bad (I dropped the thing from 5' and it dropped on concrete, only
to bounce down a hill and die....) and they replaced it free of charge!
 I call that service.  :)
