Shock measurement apparatus and shock measurement method

摘要

The object of the present invention is to provide a shock measurement apparatus which allows shock received by a hard disk drive of a notebook PC to be precisely measured without altering the physical characteristics of the PC. A shock measurement apparatus for measuring shock received by a notebook PC having an media bay for installing a hard disk drive includes a shock measurement circuit with an acceleration pickup for detecting acceleration as shock and a hard disk drive-compatible power supply connector for receiving electrical power from an internal power supply contained in the notebook PC. The shock measurement apparatus is sized to match the form factor of the hard drive disk.
