How long does this limited hardware warranty last?
This limited hardware warranty lasts for the time period indicated on your packing slip, invoice or receipt except for the following Dell-branded hardware:

  • All variants of flash devices, including solid state drives, included in Dell Compellent systems, carry the length of the limited hardware warranty coverage for the Dell Compellent system with which the flash device is shipped. However, because flash devices use a silicon technology that has a maximum number of bytes that can be written to the device (the "Rated Life"), the applicable limited hardware warranty covers failures due to defects in workmanship and/or materials, but does not cover problems related to the device reaching its maximum Rated Life. Should a device reach its maximum rated life, it will no longer be eligible for replacement under this warranty, regardless of the length of the warranty for the Dell Compellent system in which it was shipped.
  • All variants of ioDrive® NAND Flash devices carry the length of the limited hardware warranty coverage for the Dell system with which the ioDrive NAND Flash device is shipped. ioDrive NAND Flash devices are not eligible for purchase of extended warranty coverage beyond a total of 5 years of coverage from the original shipment date. Additionally, ioDrive NAND Flash devices use a silicon technology that has a maximum number of physical bytes that can be written to the device (the Rated Life). The applicable limited hardware warranty covers failures due to defects in workmanship and/or materials, but does not cover problems related to the device reaching its maximum Rated Life. ioDrive is a registered trademark of Fusion-io.
