Here is the link to the 5-year warranty from SK Hynix, among the longest in the industry.

I've never been asked for a restocking fee from Amazon.

FYI, if something doesn't make sense to you, doesn't make it false.

As for the warranty, have you contacted them direct through their website? I bought an expensive Corsair and in 6 months, it died twice. I initiated warranty through Corsair's website, not Amazon. This is typical of warranty coverage; once the return window has closed, warranty requests are handled by the manufacturer.

amazon can accept products for return after 30 days. However, they will charge a restocking fee if you try to return after the 30 day return period.

SK Hynix does not have a customer facing operation other than support email. They used to have a direct RMA process at the beginning of the year but they removed it and now direct people to work through Amazon which is the only place they sell through in US.
Amazon is not set up for warranty returns or following any manufacturer warranties or policies. The only things they can do is follow their own policies for returns and their window nothing to do with the manufacturer. The only other option is to send an email to vendor through Amazon like with any other third party vendor. SK Hynix will still not give direct RMA. They will ask that you work with Amazon and that they will make you whole with whatever Amazon does. But Amazon might not accept returns after their return window is closed even if it totally fails. They ask you to contact the vendor through email and the cycle starts. So, whether you get warranty service is a huge YMMV if you were to need it after Amazon return window. Even if you manage to get a return and a replacement somehow, it will likely take weeks in this process.
This is not a way anyone has to deal with a brand however large it might be and even if the product is very good.
I used to highly recommend this brand before but I don't anymore.

Please see the link below to Newegg and explain how Amazon is the only place they sell through.

But do you understand the warranty handling issues now? This is the page they had before where you could do direct RMA before
https://www.skhynix.com/support/rma.jsp
The following is the page one was pointed to for SSD RMAs
https://ssd.skhynix.com/customer_en.htm
Initially, it had an RMA form. Then they removed it and just put contact Amazon there as their (only) distributor. Now, it is a HTTP not found error.
Exactly.
Actually, if they are now selling through Newegg, it is better set up to handle warranties and RMAs for Manufacturers than Amazon is (assuming one wants to deal with Newegg in the first place) because they have been doing it for a while for Asian brands like Super Flower.
