Freeze a dead hard drive to copy its data
Authored by: BMarsh on Nov 06, '06 07:00:06AM

a firm "whack" to the side of the drive if I'm not mistaken, and not to the top or bottom

especially if the drive is spinning, impacting the top or bottom of the drive could put the read head into the platter, which you really want to avoid.
