Detection Level

There are four sensitivity levels in which vibrations, impacts and their similar signs are detected can be set to OFF, 1, 2 and 3 in ascending order. Level 3 is recommended for better protection of the computer.

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.
