How to know a store is authorized by Seagate

A hard disk drive (HDD) is a valuable investment, whether you're an individual consumer or a business owner. Getting one from a questionable source is risky. A lower price offer is undeniably attractive, but how about the after-sales support and warranty policy? Acquiring support from third-party sources might be costlier in the long run. The worse, you might end up with a paperweight because of a broken hard drive. Helping its customers make sure that they get their Seagate HDDs from reputable sources, Seagate Philippines has launched the Be WISER! campaign. The acronym WISER stands for Warranty, In-depth service, Support, End user promo, and Rescue.
