    Hi all,

    I have the 500GB WD 7200RPM HDD (WD5000BPKT-75PK4T0) in my V131 and was wondering whether it has a free-fall sensor?

    Also, is the STMicroelectronics AccelerometerP11 software (Windows) related to the free-fall? Or does it serve some other purpose?

    Thanks!

    That is the free-fall sensor. You can find some options in Control Panel -> FreeFall Data Protection. Good luck! :)
