G-Force Protection
When a laptop is dropped, the most catastrophic damage to the hard drive occurs when the head scrapes across the surface of the disk, causing potential data loss. The G-Force Protection feature, an optional drop sensor, protects the Momentus 5400.6 drive against shock by sensing when the system is in a freefall state, moving the heads off the platter and locking them in place—all within three-tenths of a second.
