Operating Basics

This function can be set to four levels. The sensitivity levels in which 

vibrations, impacts and their similar signs are detected can be set to OFF, 

1, 2 and 3 in ascending order. Level 3 is recommended for better protection 

of the computer. However, when the computer is used in a mobile 

environment or in other unstable conditions, setting the detection level to 3 

could result in frequent execution of TOSHIBA HDD Protection, which will 

slow Hard Disk Drive reading and writing. Set a lower detection level when 

the speed of Hard Disk Drive reading and writing is a priority.
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.

This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according 

to tilting or vibration of the computer.
When the TOSHIBA HDD Protection detects computer vibration the Hard 

Disk Drive head is parked and the 3D object disk rotation will stop. When 

the head is un-parked the disk will begin to rotate again.
The 3D Viewer can be started from the icon in the task tray.
