In my other topics I didn't explain in detail and I didn't express myself very well

In my case I use a USB3.0 enclosure case + 2.5" HDD

1) Is it a myth or true that the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" eject function, when finished and the letter E: disappears from the system, parks the read and write heads even if the USB3.0 cable remains plugged into the enclosure and PC after ejection by Windows?

2) Do the enclosure case model, brand and chip, Windows power settings and Windows version have a lot of influence on whether or not the 2.5" HDD heads are parked after ejection by Windows but the USB 3.0 cable remains connected after ejection?

example:

Does the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" eject function have anything to do with parking the 2.5" HDD heads inside the USB 3.0 enclosure case after letter E: disappear or does parking only occur when the power is cut and the USB cables are disconnected from the PC and the enclosure?

In my case, I have the 2.5" HDD models manufactured in 2011-2013 WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST APPLE HDD HTS541010A99E662 and Seagate ST500LM030 of 2016

My enclosure cases are Orico 25PW1 black and Kesu 2530, but I don't know if they have any influence.

And some drives or enclosures have a g sensor.
If it senses that it is falling off the desk, park.

I do not know what YOURS has, nor am I going to investigate.
