Comment Re:Freezer "fix" (Score 2) 504

I've had the same thing happen: I've been able to get a drive to run longer before failure by putting it in the freezer for a bit. I'm not really sure why this article is so against the freezer fix. Can it damage the drive more? Sure, probably. But, if you want to get some data off the drive, but that data isn't important enough to spend $1,500 for recovery... why not just try it? If you do damage the drive more, you're no worse off (again, assuming spending money on the recovery is out of the question).
