How do I detect a "hd-detected" hop?

What I'm looking for is a way to have an event that fires when one of the PC HD detects a hop (a shock, a vibration, ...).
I read some web pages on WMI and S.M.A.R.T. and looked in the M. Russinovich Windows Internals books without finding anything usefull.
I'll appreciate if anyone have some hints.
Thank you in advance

Who told you that your PC hardware allows doing such things? What's wrong with doing some Web search?

Thank you for the answer.
I saw the suggested site before answer you but I'm not involved in building a device.
What I didn't tell in my question is that I'm interested in 1) knowing something more and deeper
(in this case how to monitor a PC) just to know, not necessarily for actual use and 2) I'd like to (eventually) boost my next applications with a best hw-aware base.
I already know how detect all the PC hw stuff...it's a quite easy thing to do. I just like to go further.
I know that it's possible to "sense" vibrations because my Toshiba Satellite does it and I'd like to know how to do the same or to detect that, may be, the hd driver of the PC where the application run cannot deliver this information.
I hope I've depicted what I'm looking for.
Bye
Dino

First of all, your computer (hardware) should be properly equipped. Please see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn448454.aspx[^].
