I have just lost a drive:
KORN ( J: ) Local Disk 69.7GB
bet you can't guess what was on there.
Hey ho.
/clicks "download"

Have you tried putting the hard drive in the fridge in a sealed container for a half hour?

Strangely enough, no.

different ways to utilize corn products in a wide variety of applications?

I heard that one from Fabyak and Friznit a while back. Apparently it really does work, some of the time.

the freezer trick can in theory work for a few minutes, long enough to rescue any absolutely essential data.
won't work for 70gb of porn, the drive will heat up too much during the transfering.

Probably won't work now that I put a hammer through the drive and binned it.

S'what we call a Tool, Fine Adjusting. Works too, sometimes

How exactly does the "freezer trick" work?

the freezer trick works using simple physics and expansion and contraction of materials due to temperature changes.
they'll probably teach it during your gcses

I thought it was more cooling the circuitry that has become extremely sensitive to heat.

I don't buy that one.
such an extreme temp change will fuck iffy circuits up far faster.

I have remedied my storage issues for now:
with a couple of 250G USB drives

I think it's because circuits work better in the cold. Better conductivity and such. That's why you can get better performance out of a CPU with a better heatsink.
