In case of WD Greens, heads are not only parked on shutdown, they are parked during normal operation if the HDD is idle for long enough. This introduces a new event that can cause HDD failure. Spin up/spin down and head parking are the most dangerous things to an HDDs integrity.

Sorry I was banned for a week so I couldn't post... :P
Anyways
@Kira: no what I meant to say was about external enclosures for internal drives... Read the post above the one you were referring to
And I do not have a suitcase laptop... Mine is HP Elitebook 8530p and another one from Sony vaio...
And I have never heard about this head park thing it's new to me :o

As I raised last week, I still don't see how that's even logically relevant.
Dhruv:
^If they park 100 times a day they will die faster as compared to a HDD which parks 50 times or less in a day.
Automatically the life increases as compared to the other one. Atleast this is what i can infer from this.
megido-rev.M:
That sounds more like putting more mechanical work on something that can't handle it. Parking does nothing to the platters, so it might as well be 1000 times per day.
