Best practice is to always lock the HDD. It only really matters if you go online using XboxLive! XLINK etc.

To be safe rather than sorry, lock the drive anyway, even if you have no plans at this stage to go online to play.

If you have a softmod then it has to stay locked but like us we have hardmods so we run ours unlocked in case the mobo goes bad. So if you have a chip then I recommend that you leave it unlocked.
