Lenovo Keep Your Drive Add-on 2-Year Post Warranty | KYD Support

Keep failed drives in your custody after the base warranty expires. Lenovo Keep Your Drive Add-on - Post Warranty extends drive retention rights for 2 years, giving infrastructure teams a cleaner path for secure media handling when systems are repaired, replaced, or retired. For organizations that treat storage media as a data-risk boundary, KYD helps reduce exposure during service events. Instead of surrendering a drive during replacement, your team keeps possession and controls the next step: secure storage, destruction, imaging, or documented disposal under your own policy. This add-on is designed for environments where compliance, auditability, and data governance matter as much as uptime. It fits procurement models that separate hardware lifecycle from media custody, especially in regulated, multi-site, or high-turnover fleets. Choose this service when the cost of losing control over a failed drive is higher than the cost of preserving it. It is a practical, policy-aligned layer for Lenovo systems that need post-warranty media retention without adding operational complexity.
