I bought the Crucial P1 NVME 1TB SSD from the Amazon deal less than 2 months ago and have recently started using it. I peeled the sticker off the top for aesthetic purposes not realising the sticker has the "Warranty void if removed" clause on it. I've now realised I'm not happy with the SSD as it makes a weird grinding/screeching noise during startup and shutdown of the system and want to either return it or make a warranty claim. A very quick Google returned some varying results.
Has anyone had experience with this? Does anyone know if that clause is legally enforceable in Australia? It's stupid to have the warranty void for removing something that has negligible impact on the drive.
