3D Viewer

This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according to tilting or vibration of the computer.

When HDD Protection detects computer vibration the Hard Disk Drive head is parked and the 3D object disk rotation will stop. When the head is un- parked the disk will begin to rotate again.

Click 3D Viewer button to start.

This 3D object virtually represents the Computer's internal Hard Disk Drive. This representation may vary from the actual number of disks, disk rotation, head movement, part size, shape and direction.

This feature may use a large amount of CPU and memory on some models. The computer may become slow or sluggish when attempting to run other applications while the 3D Viewer is displayed.

Intensely shaking the computer or other subjecting it to strong impacts may cause damage to the computer.
