I just looked up the specs for a randomly selected Seagate hard drive. Parked it was listed as 368 g's and operating it was listed at 68 g's. Clearly having the drives parked( turned off) is much safer.
Also remember that Directv uses standard hard drives and not laptop hard drives ( which can handle more abuse). Unless necessary unplugged is safer for transporting a DVR.
Replace the internal drive by plugging a solid state drive into the SATA port on the back of the directv box. Then you can have more storage capacity if you choose to, and you won't have to worry about g's :)
