HP 3D DriveGuard

When your notebook computer gets bumped against a doorway or dropped a short distance, there’s a lot more at stake than the hardware itself. If the computer is running, an everyday incident like this could damage your hard drive and cause you to lose the data on it. When a hard drive fails, everything stops. You could potentially lose thousands of rands to downtime, lost productivity and data recovery efforts. That’s why you need HP 3D DriveGuard, available on most Standard, Business, Professional, workstation and mini-note series HP Business notebooks.

HP 3D DriveGuard mitigates the risk of hard drive failure by protecting against short drops, rough handling, excessive vibration and other everyday wear and tear. With this HP Professional innovation, your critical information is not only better protected, but is more easily protected, whenever you’re on the move.

HP 3D DriveGuard’s protection policies provide an enhanced level of protection at all times:
- Ready state for stationary protection your HP business notebook is routinely in a ready state of protection when the lid is open and you are working on a plane, train or some other place. In this state, HP 3D DriveGuard will automatically park the hard drive head if the notebook experiences a sudden movement, a drop or some other significant change in its physical state.
- Enhanced state for moving about when you’re on the move with the lid closed on your business notebook, HP 3D DriveGuard shifts into an enhanced state of protection that is sensitive to very small movements. The enhanced state is applied because this is the mostly likely time for the notebook to be bumped, banged or dropped.
