What are the reasons for frequent head parking on a laptop?
Hard drive: Toshiba MQ01ABD100
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Tried disabling APM using the hdparm utility - it doesn't help (specifically in my problem), and it's not really necessary. During the day, a little more than a hundred parking lots ran up, which I think is not so much.
The problem itself is that the heads are often parked during active work, I understand if the hard drive is idle, but parking during active work worries me.
It manifests itself something like this: I’m doing some business on my laptop, a torrent is running in the background or something is just swinging, the hard drive is loudly banging its heads, after which the Load / Unload Cycle Count parameter in the SMART hard drive grows, this does not interfere with work, but this is disturbing.

This is a feature of all modern laptop screws. Settle down already. Better he will park the heads than make scratches on impact.
If annoying - put ssd.
