AccelerometerP11
What is AccelerometerP11?
This is the ST Microelectronics free fall sensor application for various laptops technology that attempts to avoid or reduce mechanical damage to hard disk drives by preparing the disk(s) prior to impact. The system consists of accelerometers that alert the system when excess acceleration or vibration is detected. The software then tells the hard disk to unload its heads to prevent them from coming in contact with the platter, thus potentially preventing head crash. This technology only engages if the hard drive is running at the moment of impact.
