An information handling system, such as a disc drive, includes a base, a disc stack rotatably attached to the base, and an actuator assembly movably attached to the base. A region of the disc stack is identified as a parking band, and when power is not provided to the disc drive, the actuator assembly is held in a parked position within the parking band by a magnetic latch. The magnetic latch is overcome during a powerup process by a voice coil motor coupled to the actuator. Other regions of the disc stack are associated with various functions performed by the voice coil motor as the actuator passes over such regions.
