HDDs "park their heads" when not in use (to save power, to protect your data in case of shock damage etc.) and every HDD has a limited parking ability, if I remember correctly 600,000 was the normal limit for WD HDDs, therefore if a HDD parks its head too often it will have a shorter lifespan than other ones. But there are people reporting that their HDD still works fine after a million parks so I'd assume it's not that important.

Modern HDDs reset their header position on shutdown indeed, but I don't see how that's pertinent.

That makes no sense. Unless you have a giant laptop, you can't stick a Caviar or AVGP (3.5") disk in it. You have to go with the Scorpios (2.5") or SSDs.

I hope his laptop doesn't look like that...
