Every Mac laptop of the past couple of years has included a hard drive motion sensor. This motion sensor is designed to stop the drive and and store them away as you laptop vibrates around the room. It is useful for keeping a long lasting drive. But, like most things on a Mac and on this site, its boring to use them for there intended purpose.
