Using HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection protects the hard drive by parking the drive and halting I/O 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 ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection returns the hard drive to normal operation.

NOTE: Because solid-state drives (SSD) lack moving parts, HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection is unnecessary.

NOTE: Hard drives connected to USB ports are not protected by HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection.

For more information, refer to the HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection software Help.

Identifying HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection status

The drive light on the computer turns on to show that the drive is parked. To determine whether a drive is currently protected or whether a drive is parked, select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Windows Mobility Center:

●If the software is enabled, a green check mark is superimposed over the hard drive icon.

●If the software is disabled, a red X is superimposed over the hard drive icon.

●If the drive is parked, a yellow moon is superimposed over the hard drive icon.

The icon in the Mobility Center may not show the most up-to-date status for the drive. For immediate updates after a change in status, you need to enable the notification area icon.
