There's no warranty. These are pull from system.
IIRC the OEMs have a different length warranty (though in the past 7+ years of using SSDs I've only ever had one drive go bad on me out of many) but the page only talks about a 30-day, DOA warranty from the seller.
Two other things (and I feel bad that I'm being "that guy" because this is an awesome deal!) the first is it says it doesn't work with Linux. That sounds strange though I would like to see that myself.
The second I'm not totally sure about, but I've heard OEM drives don't work with Samsung Magician (caching software).
So, just a couple caveats people should be aware of before plunking down $350. But, if you're mostly in it for the speed and capacity, (and of course price) this is definitely the way to go.

Thermal throttling issues were a big deal with the 950 Pro / UBX controller, but have mostly been ironed out with the newer Polaris controller, which this drive has (and is the same controller in the 960 Pro). I wouldn't be surprised that the slight decrease in speed between the SM961 vs the 960 Pro came from Samsung slowing it down a bit to make the OEM drives last longer. That's purely my own speculation though.
One of the tricks Samsung used with the 960 Pro is they lined the sticky side of the label with copper, so the label itself is a heatsink. I'd be interested to see if they do the same with the PM961.
No offense but WD SSDs are junk compared to Samsung... Especially their Blue line.
