doesn't matter. the hard drive is parked if it's off or sleeping, and
if it's ssd it isn't an issue at all.

it does not periodically wake up unless you have a habit of putting
macbooks in luggage without closing the lid, where something can hit
the keys and wake it.

but even if it did, it's still a non-issue since the hard drive has a
motion sensor for sudden acceleration.
