Keep Your Hard Drive Warranty

Keep Your Hard Drive (KYHD) warranty add-on is available to Dell ProSupport customers at the point of sale to retain control over your sensitive data.

You can add this service to your warranty from the services section when configuring your order online.

Key Benefits of KYHD service:

Greater Security - Your sensitive data and hard drive never have to leave your control. Retaining physical possession of a failed hard drive is an effective way to help ensure the security of classified, proprietary, or sensitive data.

Complete Control - By keeping failed hard drives in-house, you decide how and when to dispose of your data, on your own terms. Tracking failed hard drives in transit becomes a nonissue. Covers multiple drives in a computer and multiple failures.

Compliance Enablement - Help comply with current data privacy regulations and internal company policies by ensuring sensitive information about your hard drives is not compromised.

Risk Mitigation - Proper control or disposition of sensitive data can mitigate the risk of expensive civil liability by helping to prevent potential exposure of confidential customer data or intellectual property.
