In the early '90s, some Quantum 105S hard drives had a "stiction" problem, and were shipped with Sun SPARCstations.
IME at the time, power off a bunch of workstations, such as for building electrical work, and probably at least one of them wouldn't spin back up the next business day.
Pulling the drive sled, and administering percussive maintenance against the desktop, could work.
