The Toshiba HDD Protection or Hard Disk Drive Protection is a utility driver that comes pre-installed with most Toshiba computers and laptops. It is an added security measure that will help protect the hard drive from mechanical damage. The program is designed mainly for laptops and notebooks because these computers have higher chances of being dropped or other impacts than with a standard desktop computer.

Here’s how it works: when active or when your computer is running, the head of the hard drive is exposed. Internal acceleration sensors called “accelerometers” measure or gauge the vibration or acceleration of the computer.

If the machine goes beyond a particular speed or level of vibration, the HDD Protection software causes the hard drive to unload the head of the disk to prevent it from coming into contact with something because of the vibrations and damaging it. If you receive that message, it means a strong vibration has been detected and the tool protected the hard drive from getting damaged.

If you have a Toshiba laptop, the program normally comes pre-installed but if you want to download it, go to Toshiba HDD Protection and download the software.
