ABSTRACT:
A protection system for a hard drive in a portable computing device in which the hard drive is placed in a protective state based on the kinetic energy of the hard drive exceeding a determined threshold. Upon determination that the threshold has been exceeded, the protection system takes steps to protect the hard drive so that the hard drive will be less susceptible to damage from impact.
