Park

When referring to a computer hard disk drive, park refers to a process of moving a computer hard disk drive head away from the disk platters to prevent the head from mistakenly damaging the disk platter when the computer or hard disk drive is being moved.

In the past, older hard disk drives and operating systems required the user to manually park and unpark the hard disk drive using a software utility or program. However, today's hard disk drives automatically park and unpark.
