They claim you lose the warranty but are wrong, they still have to prove you damaged it. Federal law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty...



Are you asking for service for the drive itself or for the drive within an enclosure?

Let's say you buy a Ford Explorer SUV. You remove the engine and use it somewhere else for a few years. If that engine breaks within the warranty period of the SUV, can you take just the engine to your local Ford dealer and ask them to fix it? Probably not.

Arguably, you can put the engine back into the SUV and take the entire car to a Ford dealer for repair. But would that constitute fraud on your part?
