[QUOTE="Geeky1, post: 524505, member: 34442"] Yep. That's a potential problem. That's one of the reasons it'd be better to use an external enclosure; There's still a large potential for condensation, but it's not as great as it otherwise could be. And if it's in an internal enclosure, a short on the drive shouldn't damage the computer. Thing is, at this point, the drive is toast one way or the other. It doesn't matter if the condensation kills it (which is possible but may not be likely, depending on the humidity of the room that the procedure is being done in) or not, because you won't get the data off the drive anyhow. Basically, yes, it could potentially kill the drive, but that doesn't make the situation any worse, practically speaking, than it was before the drive was frozen. [/QUOTE]
