Is it possible that inside certain harddisks motion detectors are placed?
I have a harddsk which works fine but as soon you move the drive (powered on
and connected to pc)
the head sounds as it wants to go in park, if i leave the drive alone it
just works fine.
IDE and power cable are ok.
Not relevant for a repair but plain curiosity, i would expect it on a laptop
disk but not a desktop.

Most microdrives have this feature, but these are the tiny drives the
size of CF cards used in many portable music players. Just moving it
should not trigger it though, it takes a fair bit of shock.
