Default Harddisk motion detection?

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)


You're going to crash your heads, if you already haven't. A hard drive
should not be moved when running.

the head sounds as it wants to go in park, if i leave the drive alone it
just works fine.


It's probably getting an error and recalibrating.
