its not the best thing to do but no it shouldn't cause any damage when the pc is off unless you really hit it. when its on though your liable to end up with a scratched hdd platter like you said.

SATA by far. why aren't you interested in ATA/IDE? SATA is faster but i think IDE drives are better if used just as large storage drives.
