5 year manufacturer warranty listed on the sales page doesn't equal OEM

That would normally be fine if it were Server Part Deals, who is familiar with drives and honors their own in-house warranty. Newegg won't return a drive after their return period. This drive is sold and shipped by Newegg and is sold with 5 year manufacturer warranty. Not as an OEM drive. There's no excuse for it.

Exos X20 bought direct from Newegg on Black Friday, Zero warranty? (alien.top)
 

I noticed my X20 Seagate from Newegg was missing 7 months from it's warranty when registered on the Seagate website. This is a common issue, and Seagate usually corrects the warranty expiration date without issue.

However, after supplying the info on this new Exos X20 "Shipped and sold by Newegg",Seagate support informed me that my drive is OEM and doesn't have a Seagate warranty.

I'm already 18+ hours into a full parity sync on this drive - but definitley am concerned about having no warranty on what is supposed to be a brand new HDD.

What would you do in this situation?

Question regarding Snapraid recovery scenario (alien.top)
 

A Snapraid user has six data disks and two levels of parity.

If a second data drive dies during the "snapraid fix" operation for the first failed drive, will the fix for the first failed drive continue without issue?

If the fix for the first drive completes without issue should the user then perform another "snapraid fix" operation for the second failed drive?

Or should the first fix operation be cancelled and a fix operation started for both drives at the same time? ex: "snapraid -d d1 -d d2 -l fix.log fix"?

Similarly, if one of the two parity drives fails during a sync operation, will the second parity drive allow the operation to complete successfully without any interaction from the user?
