As for not using rotational drives - well SSD are pricey for storage, I am thinking of getting a 128GB Sandisk one instead of my optical drive, but I still want to keep the 500 GB HDD, so I can use it for storage. Still I can just mount the HDD only when I need the storage on it, and otherwise hdparm it.
]]>Regarding the accelerometer, different thinkpads (at least yoga and helix) and ideapads(yoga 2 pro) have a sensor-hub from STMicroelectronics. The driver are in the linux kernel but unfortunately not shipped with the default archlinux kernel.
So I think the first thing you need to do is to retrieve the accelerometer name(It can be pretty tricky) then look if a kernel module exist and is loaded.
What is the result of lsusb and the exact name of your laptop?
I have a Thinkpad Edge E430, but my solution was simply to stop using rotational drives...
]]>Concerning the accelerometer, can you run
lsusb
and look for an STMicroelectronics entry? If you have it I can give you extra information.
Cheers
