If the unit is outside the limit of the original return policy offered by the reseller, you should follow the return process above to initiate a return with StarTech.com.

If the product is still within the warranty period and deemed defective by a Technical Advisor, we will ship out a replacement unit within 2-5 business days of your RMA request being reviewed. Keep in mind, StarTech.com reserves the right to replace the product with a product of equivalent performance at their sole discretion at any time.
