Shorten HDD life: partially true. I would say moving HDD around while it is still running will INCREASE THE RISK to destroy the HDD ON THE SPOT instead.

I used to run a long distance with my laptop still switched on inside my backpack doh.gif found out only after i had reach the destination.
After that i make sure my laptop is OFF everytime i carry my laptop around inside my backpack.
