HDD Resurrection Using Freezer
I&#x27;ve always been exceptionally skeptical of the freezer claim due to a lack of any real comprehensive explanation as to how it works or any actual study that gets even a base number of failing drives that were temporarily recoverable as a result of the freezing. I&#x27;m not convinced that the result would be any different if the drive was simply allowed to rest and tried later.<p>Every explanation has talked about parts expanding and contracting, but given how easy it would be to demonstrate this by simply disassembling the drive and doing before&#x2F;afters, I feel incredibly skeptical of such a claim and see it more as a wild guess than anything.<p>All that being said, even though I see it as voodoo, freezer is still my last stop with a drive when everything else fails, though I still let the owner know that I&#x27;m not expecting any results.
