An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for buffering write data. A motion sensor module senses the motion of a motion-sensitive storage device. A direction module writes data to a buffer if the motion exceeds a threshold motion. The direction module further writes the data to the motion-sensitive storage device if the motion does not exceed the threshold motion. In one embodiment, a write module writes the data from the buffer to the motion-sensitive storage device when the motion does not exceed the threshold motion.
