ThinkVantage Active Protection System 1.79.0.3

ThinkVantage Active Protection System is a technology developed by Lenovo that helps protect laptop hard drives from damage due to shocks and vibrations.

ThinkVantage Active Protection System uses an accelerometer to detect sudden movements and instantly stops the hard drive when such movements are detected, helping prevent potential data loss or damage.

ThinkVantage Active Protection System is available on most Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, but not all models come with it pre-installed. Check your laptop specifications to see if it has this feature.

If a sudden shock is detected, the system will immediately stop the hard drive. The hard drive will resume normal operation once the system detects that it is safe to do so.
