I use a USB3.0 enclosure case, brand and model Kesu 2530 and 25pw1 black **********, i use 2.5" HDDs models and brands Seagate ST500LM030 and WDC WD10JPVX-08JC3T5, APPLE HDD HTS541010A99E662
In Windows 10 and others Windows there is an eject function (safely remove hardware) when this function is executed and the HDD + case does not appear in Windows, for example "E:" even with the USB3.0 cable connected to the PC on/case. After all this happened, my hand hit the USB3.0 enclosure case and it moved on the table. Did this hit cause friction between the 2.5" HDD read/write heads and the magnetic platters, scratching them?

only if you hit it hard enough before the head park. if you werent using it right before you ejected it, its probably just fine.
 
Does parking the heads of a 2.5" SATA laptop HDD inside a USB 3.0 enclosure case only occur when the power is cut off by disconnecting the cables or does it also occur when the Windows eject function (safely removing hardware) is executed and completed?

Some people say it occurs in both situations, while others say it only occurs when the drive is cut off from all power.
What is the truth? My models are a little old, from 2013, as mentioned above.
 
1) Do the model, brand, chip of the USB3.0 enclosure case and Windows power settings have any relation to the parking of the heads of a 2.5" HDD after the Windows "safely remove hardware" eject command is completed and the letter E: disappears from the system?

2) In what year on 2.5" HDDs and in what version of Windows was parking the heads of 2.5" HDDs implemented after the Windows "safely remove hardware" eject command is completed and the letter E: disappears? even if the USB3.0 cable of the enclosure case remains connected to the PC/enclosure?
 
What happens after ejecting safely remove hardware in Windows even without disconnecting the USB cable from the enclosure and PC after ejection?
