Limited Warranty with Media Wear-out Indicator

Intel warrants to the purchaser of the Product specified above in its original sealed packaging (“Original Purchaser”) and to the

purchaser of a computer system built by an Original Purchaser containing the Product (“Original System Customer”) as follows:

if the Product is properly used and installed, it will be free from defects in material and workmanship, and will substantially

conform to Intel’s publicly available specifications for the “warranty period”, which is THE SHORTER OF: (A) A PERIOD OF FIVE

(5) YEARS BEGINNING ON THE DATE THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED IN ITS ORIGINAL SEALED PACKAGING IN THE CASE OF AN

ORIGINAL PURCHASER OR THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM CONTAINING THE PRODUCT IN THE

CASE OF AN ORIGINAL SYSTEM CUSTOMER; OR (B) THE PERIOD ENDING ON THE DATE WHEN THE USAGE OF THE DRIVE, AS

MEASURED BY INTEL’S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE “SMART” ATTRIBUTE (E9) “MEDIA WEAR-OUT INDICATOR”, REACHES A

“NORMALIZED VALUE” OF “1”. The “Media Wear-out Indicator” (E9) is specified in the Intel datasheet for the Product. A new,

unused drive will show a Media Wear-out Indicator value of “100”, while a drive that has reached its write endurance limit will

show a Media Wear-out Indicator value of “1”. If the Product, which is the subject of this Limited Warranty, fails to conform to

the above warranty during the warranty period, Intel, at its option, will:

 REPAIR the Product by means of hardware and/or software; OR

 REPLACE the Product with another product; OR, if Intel is unable to repair or replace the Product,

 REFUND the then-current value of the Product at the time a claim for warranty service is made to Intel under this

Limited Warranty.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY EXIST UNDER APPLICABLE STATE, NATIONAL,

PROVINCAL OR LOCAL LAW, APPLY ONLY TO YOU AS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT OR COMPUTER SYSTEM

THAT INCLUDES THE PRODUCT AND LASTS ONLY FOR AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO OWN THE PRODUCT. WARRANTY

COVERAGE TERMINATES IF THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM CUSTOMER SELLS OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERS THE COMPUTER SYSTEM

WHICH INCLUDES THE PRODUCT.

EXTENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY

Intel does not warrant that the Product will be free from design defects or errors known as “errata.” Current characterized

errata are available upon request. Further, this Limited Warranty does NOT cover:

 Any costs associated with the repair or replacement of the Product including labor, installation or other costs incurred

by you, and in particular, any costs relating to the removal or replacement of any Product that is soldered or

otherwise permanently affixed to any printed circuit board; OR

 Damage to the Product due to external causes, including accident, problems with electrical power, abnormal electrical,

mechanical or environmental conditions, usage not in accordance with product instructions, misuse, neglect, alteration,

repair, improper installation, or improper testing; OR

 Any Product which has been modified or operated outside of Intel’s publicly available specifications or where the original

identification markings (trademark or serial number) has been removed, altered or obliterated from the Product, or
