Toshiba m4-103 User Guide

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 as 

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

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

reading and writing. Set a lower detection level when the speed of HDD 

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. Furthermore, the detection level can be individually set 

also during use in Tablet mode (Battery).

Detail Properties

To open the Detail Properties window, click the Setup Detail button in the 

TOSHIBA HDD Protection Properties window.

When the AC adaptor is disconnected or the lid is closed, HDD Detection 

assumes that the computer will be carried and sets the detection level to 

the maximum for 10 seconds.
