Leave your hard drive ON.  It won't make much difference if you are home at
the time of the quake or not.  You'd probably knock the hard drive silly
trying to hit the OFF switch and that wouldn't necessarily park the heads off
the cylinder media anyway.  Park would take to long for sure.  You might
consider shock mounting and suspending your drive in a structure that would
keep it running through a biggy but what if your house falls down?
 
I live in El Segundo and my board stayed up through the 6.0 or whatever it was
that hit Whitier.  Enjoy your hard drive.
