@JoonasSaarinen
It is normal only if done not too frequently. Because otherwise, it can kill a drive. And that is not just theoretical, it can happen much more quickly than you may think: I had a drive with that issue, but very quiet so I did not notice. The result: the drive died in a catastrophic failure after only 5 months of operations (and over 800,000 Load_Cycle_Count!).
I don't think destroying itself in 5 months qualifies as "normal drive operations."
