Seagate manager Pete Steege tried to store his Seagate Go 320GB hard drive in ice for 100 days in order to prove that Seagate drives can withstand all manner of torture. Sadly, it didn’t quite make it. When he cut the drive out of his ice rink (!!) he cut the bag which wet the drive.
Plugging it in resulted in a device failure and absolute proof that you shouldn’t drop your drives into freezing pond in early November.
I would have bought another one around the same time as that one and put the same files on it, lol. And used that one instead like “LOOK IT WORKED” lol. Better than feeling like an idiot on youtube.
did he try the drive before he froze it? maybe it was broken to start. I’ve frozen drives before, but never in ice, and they still get recognized
Clueless manager, table for one…you may be seated now.
