Does it make any difference that it may incur some movement when the heads aren't parked? Picking up and going to a meeting (while still plugged in?)
I wouldn't do that.
Ditto. Given that the vast majority of people I know that have hard drive failures in MB/MBP's are the people who just pick up their laptop and walk around, I wouldn't voluntarily move any drive that way while it's running. Apple's laptop drives have rubber mounts also (albeit smaller) and also have sudden motion sensors, but still, the majority of failures seem to come from the "pick up and go" crowd.
