What does "data protection" mean
I'm baffled by Dell's definition of "data protection", to me one year's worth of data protection means they back it up for you and guarantee no data loss. Bargain at £25 per year.

Your mileage may vary but I am offered [1Yr Data Protection - Keep Your Hard Drive+ £25.00] when I follow that link. Is that £25 to have Dell protect my data for a year or have Dell started speaking a different language where "data protection" means destroying the data by smashing the hard disks into rubble?

I didn't follow the links from my cell phone, but part of data protection is keeping data confidential. There are many government organizations that do not let any hard drives leave the premise. In this case, I believe data protection means that you get to protect your data by maintaining physical control of your drives, even after failed drives have been replaced.
Part of "data protection" is keeping it available in case the server explodes surely?
I completely understand what "defective media retention" is but it says "DATA PROTECTION" on Dell website and for $20 per year that is a bargain.

The Keep Your Hard Disk option is the ability to keep a drive that has failed in a server instead of sending it back to Dell or the on-site tech removing it when they leave.
Otherwise the "defective" disk may be "refurbished" and put back into circulation or sold as such. There's no guarantees as the disk would probably not be touched to wipe anything on it.
