Re: Putting Harddrive in freezer?
no its not hogwash
it does work especially on the old maxtor drives (before seagate bought them)
but as you know there are many reasons a drive can die, usually its the circuit board that fails & those can be replaced if you buy an EXACT same drive and remove the circuit board from the new purchase and put it in the old drive
if the old drive is "slapping" and make clickign noises <<<<< then the old freezer trick will tighten the drive parts for a brief period or time while you retrieve data ????
its all a crap shoot >>>>> BTW platter and or spindle replacement is out of the question; NO ONE can do that without a clean room and knowledge of very tight tolerances
