However, when the computer is used in a mobile environment or in other unstable conditions, setting the detection level to 3 could result in frequent execution of HDD Protection, which will slow down Hard Disk Drive reading and writing. Set a lower detection level when the speed of Hard Disk Drive reading and writing is a priority.
Different detection levels can be set depending on whether the computer is used as handheld or mobile usages, or whether it is used in a stable environment such as on a table in the workplace or at home. By setting different detection levels for the computer depending on whether it runs with the AC power (desktop) or with batteries (handheld or mobile usage), the detection level automatically switches according to the power connection mode.
Detection Level Amplification
When the AC adaptor is disconnected, HDD Detection assumes that the computer will be carried and sets the detection level to the maximum for 10 seconds.
Default
You can reset HDD Protection settings to factory default by first clicking Default button and then Apply button.
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.
System Recovery
There is a hidden partition allocated on the Hard Disk Drive for the System Recovery Options in the event of a problem.
You can also create recovery media and restore the system.
