For information:

Freecom anounced on Cebit that in cooperation with a DR company Lazarus, near to Madrid, Spain,
they will offer a 3 years insurance for any HDD (but not out of a raid system) for € 29,95. The
shipping costs are included in that price.

The HDD must be in good / working condition at the time of registration.

Freecom / Lazarus guarantee dr even from severely damaged drives within 2 weeks and
if no data is retrievable any more then a new drive will be returned in exchange.

I think is a good marketing advertising for the Freecom.

If they sell 10.000 disk per month and they charge only $29.95, if 5% of the disk can be with problem they send to try DR.

If they could not do it , will give a new disk. that´s great :)

Is it an "all risk" insurance that include fallen drives ? :D
When they will get tons of drives ma... ehm... "touched" by users and fiddled with DIY solutions found on the net, I think at the marketing office something will happen. The drives ARE ALWAYS "of course" working at the moment of registration... in fact the problems come AFTER (5 minutes before died it was alive). Would be funny to see how long it will last :mrgreen:
Use Excel and make a simulation ;)

They'll just do RMA and put 30EUR in the pocket

This is not new service in market :O) Remember surge protectors? and Icras sorry IBAS lol

However I bet there will be a clause which states 'best endeavours' for recovery.... I bet a good % will be beyond recovery ;o)
