Maxtor, Western Digital 1yr Warranty

DosFreak
Just saw that Western Digital is going 1yr warranty on it's Protege & Caviar drives. They can be upgraded to a higher warranty for some extra $$. The new Caviar SE is 3yr warranty Going to research a bit more but has Maxtor gone 1yr for ALL of it's HDs? Anyone know? Also there are rumours that Seagate is going 1yr too.
