Another 2 IDE hard drives bite the dust
#7
Alex Lindsey of PixelCorp has a ton of archive HDs with data, and he says they are routinely spun up every six months to keep the lube from drying up.

I also remember a similar recommendation about doing the same for cameras, years ago. Regularly fire the shutter and different speeds, work all the controls, etc.
