Lenovo 1Y Keep Your Drive | Data Retention Service, Enterprise

Keep control of storage media when hardware service is required. Lenovo 1Y Keep Your Drive is a one-year professional service designed for organizations that want to retain failed drives after replacement, rather than surrendering them during warranty or depot repair. That matters when the drive may contain regulated, confidential, or operational data that should remain under your custody. This service supports a more disciplined asset disposition process by allowing your team to remove the drive from circulation, document the event, and handle destruction or secure storage on your own terms. It can help reduce data-handling risk, simplify internal compliance procedures, and avoid the delays that come with third-party media return policies. For IT teams managing fleets of Lenovo systems, Keep Your Drive adds a clear control point without changing the underlying support model. It is especially useful where data governance, audit readiness, and media accountability carry real cost. When the value of the information exceeds the value of the failed component, retaining the drive is the right call.
