Using HP 3D DriveGuard
HP 3D DriveGuard protects a hard drive by parking the drive and halting data requests under either of
the following conditions:
●
You drop the computer.
●
You move the computer with the display closed while the computer is running on battery power.
A short time after the end of one of these events, HP 3D DriveGuard returns the hard drive to normal
operation.
NOTE: Because solid-state drives (SSD) lack moving parts, HP 3D DriveGuard is unnecessary.
NOTE: Hard drives in the primary hard drive bay are protected by HP 3D DriveGuard. Hard drives
connected to USB ports are not covered by HP 3D DriveGuard.
