Freeze a dead hard drive to copy its data
Authored by: swkent on Nov 06, '06 12:26:05PM

I have used a similar method professionally multiple times. Rather than put the drive in the freezer, I put it into a thin external HD case. The MetalGearBox is perfect for this. Then I set the case on top of one of those freezer cold packs and rest another on top of the case. I have recovered over a terabyte of mission critical data for three different companies using this method.
