TOSHIBA HDD Protection Properties

You can change the TOSHIBA HDD Protection settings by using the

TOSHIBA HDD Protection Properties window. To open the window, click

Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> HDD Protection

Settings. The window can also be started from the icon on the Taskbar or

from the Control Panel.

HDD Protection

You can choose whether to enable or disable TOSHIBA HDD Protection.

Detection Level

This function can be set to four levels. The 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 TOSHIBA HDD Protection, which will

slow 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.

3D Viewer

This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according

to tilting or vibration of the computer.

When the TOSHIBA 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.

The 3D Viewer can be started from the icon in the task tray.
