Doubt HDD parking

My 2.5" HDDs are a bit old, from 2013, models WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662. I couldn’t find their datasheets. i have other new hdd 2.5" seagate ST500LM030

Do these tree HDD models have auto park? In what situations do they enter the park area automatically?

In Windows 10 I ejected these 2.5" HDDs + Kesu 2530 or Orico 25pw1 cases USB3.0. When I removed the USB3.0 cable connector from the PC, my hand hit the HDD case and it moved on the table. I wondered if this impact is enough for needles and the mechanical arm to touch the magnetic disks and generate bad sectors and damage files?

Disks have had parking since the earliest models.

If the 2.5" HDD is old, 2013, old processor, old firmware, will this affect the speed of seconds to activate parked after ejection in Windows compared to a new 2.5" HDD manufactured in 2024?
I asked twice on WD chat and I’m confused because they said milliseconds then they said 10-20 seconds my models are the ones I mentioned before + usb3.0 case

USB3.0 enclosure case causes delay in Windows/HDD2.5" communication?

If I ejected the hdd2.5" + usb3.0 case in windows and then kept the usb3.0 cable connected to PC on/case, will this connection harm the parking of the hdd after ejection?

USB enclosures are usually fairly responsive but moving to a SSD is advantageous

AFAIK even old hard disks I have in USB boxes park automatically when power is off. When power is restored it takes a moment for the platters to spin up.

Older machines like my P52 have dual M.2 slots in addition to a SATA slot. The P52 is Intel 8th gen.

Example HDD 2.5" 2013 10-20 seconds for parked after eject in windows 10 x HDD 2.5" 2023 5 seconds for parked after eject in windows
