So my external maxtor 250 gig hard drive started clicking tonight.. instantly turned it off.. I cannot get it to startup so I did not try more than like 3times because it clicks periodically trying to spin up... Now I have so much important data on this drive.. I am hoping I can retrieve it. I read you can throw the hard drive in the freezer (does anyone know exactly how i should store it in the freezer safely such as remove all the air from a ziplock bag then place it in there??) and my 2nd question is do I plug it in via usb or would it read quciker through being connected directly to the motherboard. Anyone have suggestions on a good reliable replacement drive, I have read things about those perependicular recording drives..
thanks
any help is appreciated!
