HDD 3D IMPACT SENSOR
Thanks to the HDD Protection the HDD will be protected against impacts, vibrations and other risks to minimise the risk of data loss.
In case the system realises a shock or a
fall the HDD head is rapidly removed
from between the HDD platters in order
to prevent damage or data loss.
3D-Accelerometer
3-axis monitoring
system dynamically
detects free falls,
shock or vibration
in all directions.
Normal state Unloading
Unload head from HDD disks
Challenge: Solution:
HDD is sensitive to shock and vibration: HDD 3D IMPACT SENSOR :
When the laptop is in a mobile mode or simply moved, the hard disk drive is facing strong vibration and even shocks
Contact of the head and disk caused by unexpected shock or vibration may damage a disk causing to lose data or even destroy the HDD
To prevent this, the HDD protection system catches unstable motion of PC with a built-in three-axis acceleration sensor and removes the magnetic head before the crash.
