What "Parks" the Hard Drive?
It is my undertsanding that when you do a full shutdown of your laptop the HDD is "parked", so the read/write arm thingamajig or whatever it is called cannot touch the disk surface. It is my understanding that this makes it very safe to move the laptop, etc., without causing damage to the HDD. My question is does sleep mode or hibernate mode do the same thing?
