Hard Drive Protection allows your hard drive to remain undamaged from rough handling, vibration and everyday wear and tear; so when an accident does happen you can continue working without interruptions from sudden movements such as abrupt impacts. A three-axis digital accelerometer acts as a motion sensor which alerts system software of sudden movements so temporary park commands may be sent for hard drives protecting critical information against impacts, bumps and minor drops.
