Using HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection (select models only)

HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection protects a hard drive by parking the drive and halting data
requests under either of the following conditions:
● You drop the computer.
●
You move the computer with the display closed while the computer is running on battery power.
A short time after the end of one of these events, HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection returns the
hard drive to normal operation.
NOTE: Because solid-state drives (SSD) lack moving parts, protection by HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive
Protection is unnecessary.
NOTE: Hard drives connected to USB ports are not protected by HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive
Protection.
For more information, refer to the HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection software Help.

Identifying HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection status

The drive light on the computer turns amber to show that the drive is parked. To determine whether
drives are currently protected or whether a drive is parked, select Start > Control Panel > Hardware
and Sound > Windows Mobility Center:
●
If the software is enabled, a green check mark is superimposed over the hard drive icon.
●
If the software is disabled, a red X is superimposed over the hard drive icon.
●
If the drives are parked, a yellow moon is superimposed over the hard drive icon.
NOTE: The icon in the Mobility Center may not show the most up-to-date status for the drive. For
immediate updates after a change in status, enable the notification area icon.
