Customizing Your VAIO Computer

Protecting the Hard Disk

If your computer is equipped with an internal hard disk drive, then it has the VAIO HDD Protection utility preinstalled for 
customizing your settings for protecting your hard disk drive against shock hazards. You can select the sensitivity level of the 
built-in shock sensor to set the appropriate protection level.

See the online Specifications whether your computer is equipped with the hard disk drive.

VAIO HDD Protection is designed to minimize possibilities of damage to hard disk drives and user data. It does not assure 100% data protection under 
any circumstances.

Hard disk drive protection is disabled before Windows launches and during a shift to Hibernate or Sleep mode, system recovery, and system shutdown.
