The VAIO HDD Protection is designed to minimize possibilities of damage to hard disk drives and user data. It does not ensure 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.
