You put them to bed and you never know if they'll wake up again
And people misunderstand it if you apply the same percussive maintenance[1] to them as you would to old Sparc drive arrays..
[1] Moved a very old array from one site to another. As expected, about 50% of the drives failed to spin up. The Sun engineers advice was to take the drives out, tap them sharply on the edge of the desk then put them back in. Reduced the drive failure to only one drive (and that one was terminal if the dark char-marks on the circuit board were anything to go by)
