Quite a few people, since Seagate has honored the warranty on many of them anyway.    Many people on AVS have done this and had no issues returning a drive under warranty, and others get an OEM package message.    You can also open these drives without destroying the enclosure (Unlike some others) but it takes longer.

You can get the serial number of the drive without opening the enclosure and then check it's warranty coverage through Seagate.

 

I have 3 of the 3TB 7200 RPM drives and 1 4TB 7200 RPM and all those returned a warranty date from Seagate for the serial number.

 

However, I have quite a few of these newer 4TB 5900 RPM drives and all of those returned this message:

The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service. Seagate sells many drives to direct OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) customers. These products are usually configured for the OEMs only, as components for their systems. You must contact your place of purchase for any warranty support on these drives.
