QUOTE(sotong168 @ Dec 21 2006, 11:47 AM) how nice if got black casing, at least it gives 'tougher build' delusion For more info on IBM's Active Protection System: hdd shock protection? a sponge? http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/think/thinkvantagetech/aps.html QUOTE The Active Protection System With the new series of ThinkPads IBM introduced the Active Protection System (APS) in 2003. The APS is a protection system for the ThinkPads internal harddrive. A sensor inside the ThinkPad recognizes when the notebook is accelerated. A software applet then is triggered to park the harddisk. This way the risk of data loss in case of when the notebook is dropped is significantly reduced since the read/write head of the harddrive is parked and hence can't crash onto the platter when the notebook drops onto the floor. The hardware sensor is capable of not only recognizing acceleration of the notebook, but also (to a certain degree) of its whole orientation in space, relative to gravity's axis. Furthermore, having the actual control put into software, its functionality is extendable and it gives chance to implement features like the "ignore minor shocks" feature which is present in the Windows based control applet. (This feature prevents the harddrive from parking in case of minor regular shocks such as occur when in a train or car.) The measurements are physically performed by an Analog Devices ADXL320 accelerometer chip, managed by the embedded controller. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Active_Protection_System http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=1893&p=1 |
