Samsung has announced a new warranty for its RAID class enterprise hard drives in the Spinpoint F1 RAID 3.5-inch SATA drives. The warranty covers the drives for a full 7 years. Samsung says that most RAID class hard drive warranties are only good for 3-5 years.

Capacities for the RAID drives from Samsung with the new warranty range from 250GB to 1TB and are designed for storage and surveillance applications. The mean time between failures for the Spinpoint F1 RAID drives is up to 1.2 million hours and the pricing for the drives starts at $299.

"Samsung is committed to delivering the best-in-class enterprise storage products covered by the industry's strongest and best warranty," said Hubbert Smith, director of Enterprise Storage Marketing, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. "Our dedication to product quality deserved a matching warranty, so we have raised the customer service bar with the industry's first seven-year product warranty."
