I'm a bit suspicious that this is a "new" drive. Toshiba XG5 has never been sold in retail, it's only meant for OEMs. So either they got a bunch of "new" pulls, or managed to get a hold of new from the factory shipment initially intended for someone else. In both cases warranty will be an issue.

Quote from ArgoNavis :

they are not authorized dealer like newegg but they get many oems. usually, if they are pulls, they state so (as they have in past)

+ they offer a 5 year warranty
