Motion sensor for HDD is for protecting HDD (hence protecting the data) if your laptop dropped. If you want test it, play a video from your HDD and while the video played, move your laptop aggressively (swing a little bit). The video you played should stop or pause momentarily.
In device manager, expand System Devices, you should see "ST Micro Accelerometer" or similar if your laptop/HDD support this function.
Be sure that you go to the folder where the driver for the Accelerometer was unpacked /dell/drivers/... and actually launch the Setup. This installation is different than most otehr drivers.
