I've written about this in the past.

Pro tip: If you don't want to waste too much time or battery, pull out the caddy and warm it up between your hands or stick it down your pants or whatever. It's actually quicker than letting the heater do the job when it's really cold.

hmmmmm... I like this "down the pants" idea.....I think it would warm up the SSD HD too!!!!
