HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor

[INeedAnswers]

Is it worth installing? Or would this create issues for my laptop to operate properly? Moreover, would you please care to explain what the HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor actually does?

Thank you.

Hi,

It's a safety feature related to the hard drive.  If the Mobile Data Protection Sensor detects your notebook is falling, it instructs the HDD to park the drive heads in an attempt to prevent damage to the drive.

I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on several machines and not found any issue with this, although it's possible you may need to install an updated driver ( this is provided by HP 3D DriveGuard software ) when you upgrade to 10.

Hi,

Can you post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your dv6 series series notebook - you can usually get this by holding down the fn key and pressing esc, otherwise see Here for a guide on locating this information.

Hi,

See if you can install the update to HP ProtectSmart on the link below.

If this installs Ok, restart the notebook and then check Windows 10 compatibility with this hardware again.

That upgrade for HP ProtectSmart doesn't work on my model.

Is there something similar for a dv6-1355dx ?

I'm not seeing anything that looks related after doing a software and driver scan.

Thanks for any help.
