Would it be possible to add a vendor field under the warranty information on the disk settings screen?

 

Reason : Multiple drives of same model purchased from different vendors. Would make processing warranty claims easier on event of drive failure.

Not sure that this would add much value as in my experience after the initial short period provided by the vendor the main warranty come from the drive manufacturer and that is independent of the vendor.

You can use Server Layout plugin, and add the vendor in the notes field.

In Australia we have quite good consumer protection laws. The vendor is responsible for the whole duration of any advertised warranty.

 

I have in the past dealt direct with the manufacturer and been instructed to send to overseas addresses for replacement/repair. The cost of freight was not much less then replacement.

Cheers, Id forgotten about server layout. I have tried to use it in the past but found that it was buggy. This was quite sometime ago - I'll give it another go
