johnny121b Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The $69 deal isn't really a simple "rebate." Many may recognize that all-too-familiar software box in the photo. That pariah has been in countless fire-sale "deals", and if you search, you'll find a lot of venom for their sign-up / cancellation 'policy'... Quote Link to comment
Superorb Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Isn't the warranty voided once you remove the drive from the external case? Quote Link to comment
damelon Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Many companies will say that the warranty is voided on external drives once you remove them, but technically the warranty is only voided on the entire external drive. The internal drive has a serial number just like any other and I've known many people who have RMAd drives from external enclosures with no problems. As to the rebate thing, yeah, I don't ever deal with any prices that involve mail in rebates no matter what they are, but other people are more brave than I am. Quote Link to comment
johnny121b Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 In order to get that "discount", I believe you have to sign-up/enroll with that security software company- providing your credit card information, and you have the 'option' to cancel the service before the trial period expires. Problem is- their cancellation procedure supposedly isn't easy/reliable. The mere fact that you see that software bundled with everything under the sun, representing the combo as some great 'discount'....... says enough [to me] about what to expect. Quote Link to comment
damelon Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yeah I agree. I hate rebates of all kinds! Quote Link to comment
