Free Fall Sensor
Free fall sensor protects your computer hard drive from possible damage, by detecting a free
fall state caused by accidentally dropping the computer. When a free fall state is detected,
the hard drive is placed in a safe state to protect against damage to the read/write head and
possible data loss. Your hard drive returns to normal operation, when the free fall state is no
longer detected.
