Parking disk drive heads

[m.ehinger at ltur.de]

I don't want to park them on turn off. I want to park them before a possible strong shock which could cause damage and unpark them
afterwards.

Thanks

Seagate drives park the heads automatically when they are turned
off.  As far as I know, this applies to other manufacturer's drives as well.
