ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method and program product are operable for controlling the operation of a disk drive in a computer subjected to motion, and comprise monitoring the motion of the computer and detecting multiple successive forces on the computer caused by the motion. Based upon characteristics of the detected forces, a motion condition, such as a walk or non-walk condition is determined. Disk drive operations are then scheduled based on the motion condition so that the scheduled disk drive operations significantly avoid occurrence during one of the future motion forces and accelerations.
