Lenovo 5PS7C30300 5-Year Keep Your Drive Warranty Add-On
Overview
The Lenovo 5PS7C30300 is a 5-year Keep Your Drive (KYD) service add-on scaled for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 rack server. This is a warranty entitlement, not a physical component: it extends data-retention protection to the SR650 V3 platform for a full 5-year term, and it's TAA/889 certified, which matters if this deployment touches a federal or federally-funded contract. 5PS7C30300 attaches to an existing or new SR650 V3 base warranty — confirm your base service term before ordering so the KYD coverage window lines up correctly.
Key Features
- 5-Year Term: Keep Your Drive coverage runs the full 5 years, matching typical server refresh cycles so you're not caught mid-lifecycle without drive-retention protection.
- Keep Your Drive Entitlement: failed hard drives and SSDs stay on-site instead of being returned to Lenovo for replacement — critical if the SR650 V3 is holding regulated, sensitive, or client data you can't risk in transit.
- Scaled for SR650 V3: this add-on is sized specifically to the SR650 V3 platform's drive bay count and configuration, so it's priced and provisioned correctly rather than using a generic per-drive SKU.
- TAA/889 Certified: supports federal and public-sector procurement requirements where Trade Agreements Act compliance and Section 889 restrictions are mandatory.
- Add-On Structure: layers onto the base Lenovo warranty/service contract for the SR650 V3 rather than replacing it — plan procurement so both are active concurrently.
Integration & Compatibility
5PS7C30300 is built exclusively for the SR650 V3 model series and won't cross-apply to other ThinkSystem rack or tower generations — verify your server's exact model before purchase. Pair this add-on with the appropriate base warranty tier for the SR650 V3 to avoid a coverage gap. For teams standardizing infrastructure, browse the broader Lenovo server and storage catalog alongside network video recorders if this server is supporting a surveillance or VMS workload, and review a storage and retention planning guide when sizing drive protection against your recording or data-retention policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the Lenovo 5PS7C30300 Keep Your Drive add-on actually cover?
A: It lets failed hard drives or SSDs in a Lenovo SR650 V3 server stay on-site after replacement instead of being returned to Lenovo, for a 5-year term.
Q: Which server does 5PS7C30300 fit?
A: It's scaled specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server model series.
Q: Is the 5PS7C30300 add-on TAA/889 compliant for government purchasing?
A: Yes, it is TAA/889 certified.
Q: Do I need a base warranty in addition to this add-on?
A: Yes — 5PS7C30300 is an add-on that layers onto an existing SR650 V3 base service contract; it does not stand alone as primary coverage.
5PS7C30300 is a 5-year Keep Your Drive add-on scaled specifically for the SR650 V3 chassis — not a generic per-server warranty SKU. That scoping matters when you're quoting multi-drive rack builds.
Technical Highlights:
- 5-Year KYD Term: failed drives stay in your possession for the full 5 years rather than shipping back to Lenovo, which keeps chain-of-custody intact for regulated data workloads.
- SR650 V3 Scale Compensation: priced and provisioned against the drive-bay density of the SR650 V3 specifically, so you're not overpaying for a mismatched generic tier.
- TAA/889 Certified: clears the compliance bar for federal and public-sector procurement without additional documentation chase.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the base SR650 V3 warranty/service contract is active or being purchased alongside 5PS7C30300 — this add-on doesn't function as standalone coverage.
- Double-check server model before ordering; KYD add-ons are scaled per platform and won't transfer cleanly to a different ThinkSystem generation.
Right fit for a federal integrator standardizing on SR650 V3 nodes for a data center or edge-recording deployment who needs drive retention locked in at time of server purchase rather than negotiated after a failure.
