Active Protection System
The Active Protection System program protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your
computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock.
The hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when the hard disk
drive is not operating, the system stops it from spinning, and may also move the read and write heads of the
drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable
again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns the hard disk drive on.
