[DM-MUG] Internal Hard Drives Shopping

[Chris Tyrrell]

I might just be imaging things, but I could swear that I've heard of
sticking a dead drive in the freezer for a brief resurrection. Of course,
once removed from the freezer, I would think it would need to warm up to
avoid condensation, and once it's warm, is the benefit of the freezer time
lost?

Good luck,
Chris
