Warranty
Enterprise SATA value/mix use solid-state drives (SSDs), enterprise SATA read
intensive SSDs and slim SATA SSDs are not eligible for purchase of extended warranty
coverage beyond 3 years, unless purchased with a separate service offering, such as Dell
ProSupport™, Dell ProSupport Plus or Dell ProSupport Flex services, which may be
available to provide longer service periods for an additional fee.
Dell power distribution units (PDUs) and keyboard/monitor/mouse consoles (KMMs)
purchased independent of a system carry a 3-year limited hardware warranty. Dell PDUs
and KMMs purchased with a system are covered by the greater of 3 years or the term of
the system limited hardware warranty.
All variants of PowerEdge Express Flash PCI Express (PCIe) SSD devices carry the length of the
limited hardware warranty coverage for the Dell system with which the PowerEdge Express
Flash PCIe SSD device is shipped. PowerEdge Express Flash PCIe SSD devices are not eligible for
purchase of extended warranty coverage beyond a total of 5 years of coverage from the original
shipment date unless purchased with a separate service offering, such as Dell ProSupport™, Dell
ProSupport Plus or Dell ProSupport Flex services. Additionally, PowerEdge Express Flash PCIe
SSD devices use a silicon technology that has a maximum number of physical bytes that can be
written to the device (the Device Life). The applicable limited hardware warranty covers failures
due to defects in workmanship and/or materials, but does not cover problems related to the
device reaching its maximum Device Life.
All variants of the Intel® 320 SSD series drives carry the length of the limited hardware warranty
coverage for the Dell system with which they are shipped. Intel® 320 SSD series drives are not
eligible for purchase of extended warranty coverage beyond a total of 5 years of coverage from
the original shipment date. Intel® 320 SSD series drives use a NAND flash technology that has a
maximum total bytes of data that may be written to the drives before the drives wear out and
become unresponsive. The maximum total bytes of written data varies by capacity and
workloads of the drives (see the device data sheet). The applicable limited hardware warranty
covers failures due to defects in workmanship and materials, but does not cover issues related
to the drive surpassing its maximum total bytes of written data. In order to ensure the full life
expectancy of the drives, customers are advised to use them only in read-intensive applications.
