spoco2Yep, that's how I do it.
rottenseedI saw it coming. Still well executed.
JiggaJonsonThe first time i experienced the hard drive click of death i was still a teen. Lost all my original poetry, music, and art.
It still makes me shudder to think of it.
Lesson learned. I keep a backup of everything now .

xxovercastxxI was all ready to declare bullshit on whatever they did. Little did I know they were being facetious.
thinker247It's weird how stopping the click of a hard drive and shutting my wife's dirty slut mouth use the same method.
videosiftbannedmeActually recovered data from a HD that malfunctioned and had the click of death. So being a tech, I had heard of that old wives tale about putting a dead drive in the freezer. Couldn't believe it actually worked. The first time I had about twelve minutes, I froze it again, eight minutes and then a third time netted me only five, but I got all my data off it.
So it does work in particular cases; not bullshit.
SagemindI know that was 'tongue in cheek' humor, but come on, That deserved a down vote![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/tongue.gif)

Not heard of this one, but read up on it and I'm intrigued. Just put my old hard drive in the freezer, cabled up and triple bagged. Fingers crossed I'll be able to recover my long lost photos.
ridesallyridencsays...I was so hoping that this was going there. It delivered.

Actually saved data from a server HD that nobody had seen fit to keep backups for. Before giving up and throwing the HD in the scrape heap we figured what's there left to lose and froze it, sure enough it did come back. I've tried it a couple times since on dead drives and for me it's worked less than 50% of the time, but has succeeded more than once. It is worth a shot if all else has failed and there's nothing to lose.
