Using HP 3D DriveGuard
HP 3D DriveGuard protects the hard drive by parking the drive and halting I/O 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 3D DriveGuard returns the hard drive to normal
operation.
NOTE:
Hard drives installed in optional docking devices or connected to USB ports are not protected
by HP 3D DriveGuard.
Because solid-state drives lack rotating parts, protection by HP 3D DriveGuard is unnecessary.
For more information, refer to the HP 3D DriveGuard software Help.
