Oh so the fridge trick now also works for NVMe drives? I saved files out of an old HDD (about 20 years ago) by putting the HDD in the fridge for about half an hour too: got the files out of the drive then trashed the drive.
- gnicholas 3y agoAh yes, good old 'cold storage'.
- jtbayly 3y agoI had an emergency one time on the road where the laptop I was using late at night randomly shut down in the middle of audio editing. Weird. I booted it up and it died again fairly quickly. Next time even sooner. Eventually I realized it was overheating. Cue getting ice from the hotel dispenser and using a fan and a metal tray to keep the laptop alive until my work was done.
