That's what I was gonna ask -- what is the logic by which this method works? I understand how "baking" a graphics card or other piece of hardware can extend its life, but not how this saves HDDs.
- leaveyou 10y agoFrom what I understood, the "freezer method" could work only in case of mechanical problems caused by wear. For example physical wear of the various hard drive bearings could lead to miss alignment of the read/write head and the tracks on the disk, therefore forcing the drive to operate at a lower temperature than "normal" tightens these bearings and reduces the miss alignment at least until the hard drive heats up again.
