Hitachi Travelstar 7K500

Looking to upgrade my HDD and looking at this Hitachi Travelstar 7K500. Checking the specs I can't determine whether this has G-Force/Motion Sensor. Better info, anyone? Thanks.

Well, the volume from the old drive has been cloned to the new Seagate, the new HDD installed in the MBP and the original Hitachi installed in a USB enclosure. Everything is working great. The drive is super quiet, and very fast. I dropped only one screw on the floor and it was a big one I could find easily. Plenty of spare disk capacity now. Now I'm going to need a bigger external after a while as this new internal HDD fills up, but that is a little ways out.

Thanks for your support and your helpful suggestions.
