Return Instructions for DOA Drives in EMEA

Please follow the instructions described below to properly return your DOA drive in Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. All returns require a Return Authorization (RA) number.

Ensuring customer confidentiality is a priority to Quantum. If customer media is under warranty per Quantum’s limited lifetime warranty for Quantum brand cartridges, the cartridge(s) must be returned to Quantum in order to exercise a remedy. Media cartridges that are handled by Quantum are sanitized using processes that are compliant with NIST Special Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization. With these steps Quantum eliminates possibility of any unauthorized party retrieving previously recorded data.
