ATA/ATAPI-7 specifies the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with unload feature.
Issuing this command should cause the drive to switch to idle mode and
unload disk heads. This feature is being used in modern laptops in
conjunction with accelerometers and appropriate software to implement
a shock protection facility. The idea is to stop all I/O operations on
the internal hard drive and park its heads on the ramp when critical
situations are anticipated. This has no effect on SSD devices!
