LOL! Freezing it? I suppose that would work. The metal plates would contract and lose whatever adhesion there might be between the plates or the heads or the spindle drive? Worth a try. I love these types of unconventional ideas.

Yes, it's too bad they stop working. Does anyone make a new drive? I mean newly manufactured as in today or is this all we have to work with? SCSI's till they're all frozen...
