One more thing I thought of (and since I get the

When I first spin up the pack I run a program which quickly seeks seeks
through each track and then repeats. This hopefully does a couple of things,
if a defect/dust is still on the platter it won't sit on that one spot long,
and it lets you quickly know how the pack it while you are standing next
to the drive to hit the load switch if it starts sounding too bad.
I'd routinely (on other drives, not specifically an RK05) kill the servo
and manually move the head actuator across the disk to do the same thing.
