Re: [opensuse] hard drive pause when moving a laptop

Brian K. White a écrit :

I don't know if there is a linux answer for the feature (perhaps an acpi event ?)

IMHO windows have no way to know you are moving your laptop (no accelerometer on board, nor GPS), but probably it parks heads more often when disconnected from main supply.

on soft moves, a moving drive is probably *better* protected from shocks than when steady (heads "fly"), but for hard drop, I don't know, better not try. HDD are worth a surprising level of g shocks (80~150), but I beg it's measured stopped
