Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
There is a function for reducing the risk of damage on HDD in this
computer.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, HDD Protection detects
vibration, shocks and similar signs in the computer, and automatically
moves the HDD head to a safe position in order to reduce the risk of
damage that could be caused by a head-to-disk contact.
When vibration is detected, the following message is displayed, and the
icon in the notification area of the taskbar is changed to the protection
state. This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or
30 seconds pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal
state.
