The caddy includes a mandrel configured to raise and lower the storage disk platters into the tub. The caddy also includes rotatable shafts configured to hold the storage disk platter. The caddy also includes a drive mechanism for rotating the rotatable shafts. The lubricant station also includes control circuitry configured to lower the storage disk platters onto the rotatable shafts of the caddy, rotate the rotatable shafts and the storage disk platters, and remove the storage disk platters from the tub.
