|
||||
ATA/ATAPI-7 specifies the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with unload feature.
|
||||
Issuing this command should cause the drive to switch to idle mode and
|
||||
unload disk heads. This feature is being used in modern laptops in
|
||||
conjunction with accelerometers and appropriate software to implement
|
||||
a shock protection facility. The idea is to stop all I/O operations on
|
||||
the internal hard drive and park its heads on the ramp when critical
|
||||
situations are anticipated. This has no effect on SSD devices!
