correct, it should be mounted || .... you may still loose some data in a bump (i didn't though over the roughest PA roads), but not greatly decreases the chances of killing the drive if it was laying == when the head hits the platter hard.
if you can, try to avoid the // position. cause then you have the worst of both mounts. if it hits a bump, it would be just as likely or worse to have the harddrive head hit the platter hard.
hope that helps!
