Is a Samsung external hard drive warranty right for you?

Buying individual warranties—like a Samsung® external hard drive warranty—for all your devices can get expensive. But for just $24.99 per month, Asurion Home+® covers all your favorite home tech against the unexpected.

Asurion Home+ offers Samsung hard drive protection and benefits a Samsung hard drive warranty can’t provide

Device warranties can provide peace of mind—but they can also expire. Asurion Home+ protection doesn’t. It covers all of your eligible home tech (Samsung external hard drives included) from mechanical and electrical breakdowns, normal wear and tear, and more. But it also offers benefits a Samsung hard drive warranty can’t provide, like expert support, data security, and photo storage.

How does a Samsung external hard drive warranty stack up?

A Samsung external hard drive warranty may not offer all the protection you need. But Asurion Home+ can cover all your Samsung devices for less than $1 per day. It’s just one of the reasons to consider a protection plan over a warranty:

  • The failure rate of hard drives increases dramatically after 3 years. And they can fail sooner if exposed to humidity, changing temperatures, or external shocks.

  • Assuming no physical damage occurs, the average lifespan for an external hard drive is around 3–5 years.

  • External hard drives are prone to data corruption, which can be caused by bad sectors that don't maintain data integrity. Bad sectors will increase rapidly on a failing hard drive.

What does Asurion Home+ cover?

Unlike a traditional Samsung external hard drive warranty, our Asurion Home+ protection plan offers peace of mind. For less than $1 per day we can protect your Samsung external hard drive from many unexpected breakdowns due to mechanical or electrical failure, defects, power surges, and normal wear and tear. This plan is a service contract that is different from a product warranty provided by a manufacturer. It does not extend the term of any manufacturer’s warranty.

Our plans cover the cost of expensive repairs or replacement parts, and if we can’t fix your Samsung external hard drive, we’ll send you a replacement or reimburse you for its current value. We also cover mechanical or electrical breakdowns caused by manufacturer defects, power-surge damage, normal wear and tear, dust, heat, and humidity.

Does Asurion Home+ cost more than a Samsung external hard drive warranty?

The gadgets we love aren’t cheap, especially Samsung external hard drives, laptops, and TVs. And if you include the cost of a single Samsung external hard drive warranty and the warranties for other tech, like smart TVs, smart watches, and game consoles, it can add up fast. It’s more convenient—and cost effective—to cover all of them under one protection plan. That’s why Asurion Home+ offers an affordable solution. For just $24.99 per month, plus applicable taxes, we cover nearly all the tech in your home under one simple plan. It’s a small price to help keep your devices protected.

Is a Samsung external hard drive warranty worth it?

The average U.S. household spends over $11,000 on technology.* Instead of buying a Samsung external hard drive warranty that will only cover your Samsung external hard drive, consider Asurion Home+, which will cover every device in your home—even the devices you haven’t bought yet. Your Samsung external hard drive will be covered against failures due to mechanical and electrical breakdown, normal wear and tear, dust, heat, and humidity, and power-surge failures. A Samsung external hard drive warranty can’t offer that level of protection. Even if you have a homeowner’s or renter’s policy, it may still only provide basic protection against fire and other catastrophes.

An Asurion Home+ external hard drive protection plan can provide coverage for the most common breakdowns on all your favorite home tech for less than $1 per day. It’s the last warranty you’ll ever need.
