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.
Setting up HDD Protection
You can change HDD Protection settings.
To open the utility, click System Settings -> HDD Protection under
TOSHIBA group in All apps. The utility can also be started from the icon in
the Taskbar or from the Control Panel.
HDD Protection
You can enable or disable HDD Protection by moving the slider to the right
or left.
HDD Protection does not work when the computer is booting, in Sleep
Mode, in Hibernation Mode, in transition to Hibernation Mode, recovering
from Hibernation Mode, or powered off. Do not subject the computer to
vibration or impact while the protection is disabled.
User's Manual
HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the Hard Disk Drive
will not be damaged.
During audio/video playback, when the computer detects a shock or
vibration and the Hard Disk Drive's head is parked, the playback might
be temporarily interrupted.
HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped with
SSD.
