Description

Runs a userspace daemon for HDAPS hard drive protection. HDAPS uses motion sensor data on supported laptops to park or protect mechanical hard drives during sudden movement.

It is useful mainly on older laptops with compatible hardware and spinning disks. It is not needed for SSD-only systems, and administrators should confirm hardware support before enabling it.

How to run
