This is not only true for the drives of any specific hardware manufacturer.
When I started working with our company some 8 years ago, we used removable
disks (who didn't at that time?) and the first hint everybody gave you was
to insert a disk pack (remember that word: "disk pack"?), then switch
on the drive and have a cup of coffee in order to have the pack at the
proper temperature.
