Such branded ones do carry manufacturers' warranty - go to Maxtor's website (they are actually now owned by Seagate in Singapore) here:
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/sup...rns_assistance
and see if your unit still has warranty or not - worth a try because you pay only aro $30 for the postage and they pay the return postage to you in real quick time
On this page the first icon (lefthand side - orange colored button) "Check Warranty Status and Return a Single Drive" is what you click on first to see if you're still under warranty - some of these have 1year or others up to 3 years
Be prepared to do some paperwork if you can get the warranty because the webpages offer you to produce shipping labels etc - just read the instructions carefully as you go along
