I tried this with balrog on the hairstyles drive that smitt lent me. It didn't help, the drive just continuously fails its post test (doesn't even id itself/instantiate to the computer) with lots of clunking. Its gonna need data recovery to get anything off of it afaict. We even tried with the drive cable running into the freezer and it didn't help.
