Toshiba TECRA C50-C Series User Manual page 102

Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, HDD Protection
detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the computer,
and automatically moves the HDD head to a safe position to reduce the
risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk contact.
When vibration is detected, a notification is displayed on the screen, and
the icon in the Taskbar changes 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.
