Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

Some models have the function for reducing the risk of damage on the
Hard Disk Drive.
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 Hard Disk Drive head to a safe position to
reduce the risk of damage that might 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.

To open the utility, click System Settings -> HDD Protection under
