ABSTRACT:
A shock protection apparatus which includes a zero-gravity sensor for detecting whether a hard disk drive is in a zero-gravity state. Upon the detection of a zero-gravity state, the zero-gravity sensor generates a zero-gravity detection signal. Subsequently, a head-slap sign detector outputs, to the hard disk drive, a signal for retracting a head if the hard disk drive is determined to be in the zero-gravity state as detected by the zero-gravity detection signal. In the shock protection apparatus, the influence of change over time of a shock-cushioning material is reduced, the difference in shock-resistant performance between operating and non-operating states is reduced, and signs of a head slap are detected promptly and properly so as to urgently retract the head.
