Well, finding out for sure is a 30 second process, so up to you
whether it is worth the time.

smartctl will give you the serial/model number, and you punch that
into a website, and it will say whether it is under warranty or not.

If you plan to wipe the disk before return, print out the results of
smartctl -a first, since wiping will probably clear the pending
sectors.

But, it is your drive, so do whatever you want with it!  :)
