Thinkpads have a very handy feature for the frequent traveller, called
IBM Active Protection System. It protects the HDD from shocks and
vibrations. From the manual:
<quote>
The IBM(R) Active Protection System protects your hard disk drive when
the shock sensor inside your ThinkPad(R) computer detects a condition
that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration,
or shock. The hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is
not operating; so the system stops it from spinning, and may also move
the read/write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data.
As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable
again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns
the hard disk drive on.
