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.
