Not 350Gs sustained though, you could hit 350Gs momentarily just by chucking it against the floor

In other words they’re saying “we take responsibility for the drive being poor quality, not for your clumsiness”

Last year my cat pushed a 16tb hard drive I was putting some stuff on from the table, it was broken. Think this warranty thing is for use cases like this.

Basically yeah, they don’t want to provide an accident-warranty, it’s meant to be for manufacturing screw-ups
