I usually use a dehydrator for ~3 days on my drives to make them sell stable. So far I haven’t had any issues.

This will do nothing at all. Drives don’t die by rust. They usually die because the motor somehow can’t get the discs to spin. Very often dry lube is the reason. That can occur if you leave the drive off too long.
