I put a 1TB Samsung 840 EVO in my MacBook Pro (9,1). Should I disable the sudden motion sensor? Does it do anything else other than park the hard disk (like something with the fans)?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
Is it somehow bothering you or affecting performance in some way? I don't really see any advantage to disabling it just because you moved to an SSD.

I'm not sure if it is effecting performance; I was hoping someone here would know.

Sounds like you can safely disable it if you wish since MacBooks which ship with an SSD drive seem to have it disabled.
Thank you.
