Check your product’s warranty status

Once you get the RMA number the next step is to send your product in.

Now the method of sending the defected product depends on where you are located. You can either print and fill up the form provided and ship your product back to Western Digital, or you can bring the defected product personally to one of their local offices.

If you choose the former, your product’s replacement will be sent to you once the defected product has been received and processed by WD. Do check the RMA Status page to keep yourself updated on the progress. If you choose the latter option, your replacement product will be given to you right on the spot.
