At least in Norway that causes you to get your device either fixed for free, or you get a new one. Any item you can expect to last at least five years, are covered. So for example, if you have a harddrive die after 4 years, you get a new one.

Does that law take into account abuse of the device? For example, if my SSD dies after 4 years because the NAND wore out from me writing terabytes a day, would I still be allowed a new one under the law?
