TOSHIBA HDD Protection This feature uses the acceleration sensor built in the computer to detect vibration and shocks, and automatically moves the hard disk drive's read/write head to a safe position in order to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk contact. Refer to the Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics for details. The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard disk drive will not be damaged.

If you have to interrupt your work, you can use this feature to allow you to turn off power to the computer without exiting from your software.
