Different detection levels can be set depending on whether the computer is
used as handheld or mobile usages, or whether it is used in a stable
environment such as on a table in the workplace or at home. By setting
different detection levels for the computer depending on whether it runs
with the AC power (desktop) or with batteries (handheld or mobile usage),
the detection level automatically switches according to the power
connection mode.
Detection Level Amplification
When the AC adaptor is disconnected, HDD Detection assumes that the
computer will be carried and sets the detection level to the maximum for 10
seconds.
Default

3D Viewer
This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according
to tilting or vibration of the computer.
When HDD Protection detects computer vibration the HDD head is parked
and the 3D object disk rotation stops. When the head is un-parked the disk
begins to rotate again.
Click
3D Viewer
button to start.
This 3D object virtually represents the computer's internal HDD. This
representation might vary from the actual number of disks, disk
rotation, head movement, part size, shape and direction.
This feature might use a large amount of CPU and memory on some
models. The computer might become slow or sluggish when
attempting to run other applications while the 3D Viewer is displayed.
Intensely shaking the computer or other subjecting it to strong impacts
might damage the computer.
