Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on the hard
disk drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD
Protection detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the
computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe
position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk
contact.
■
The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the
hard disk drive will not be damaged.
■
TOSHIBA HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped
with SSD.
When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and
the icon in the Taskbar notification area will change 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.
