I don't know what to make of this... The delivery driver put my hard drives... In the fridge?! Because the box says new egg?!?!
@chuck I'm reminded of several times where I had to recover data off a dying HDD by putting it in the freezer.
@chuck This is strictly speaking better than the alternative.
@chuck cold boy
@chuck hot tips to keep your SSD as cool as it can be
@chuck Your eggs are upside-down then...
@chuck omg I’m dead 😆
@chuck This is hilarious, but despite the "freeze the drive to recover data" trick I'm worried about moisture.
Also what's in the styrofoam cooler? Is it a human heart? I'm guessing human heart.
@chuck 🤣
@chuck I frankly love it.
@chuck oh bless them hehehehe
@chuck 👌🏽
@chuck it's the new hard drive cooling system. just put them in a fridge.
@chuck old mate here is living in a Quantum computing world already 😂
@chuck insert cold storage joke here
@chuck 😂
@chuck I'd suggest defrosting your new eggs at room temperature for about an hour before consuming them.
@chuck
"I hope you like your drives hard...boiled."
@chuck who doesn't buy their eggs online, after all?
@chuck Wait, how does the delivery driver have access to the fridge?
@chuck the driver probably didn't want your sectors to go bad!
@chuck Let us know what emerges when they hatch.
@chuck at least they didn't put them in the freezer. That would raise a *lot* more questions!
@chuck At least you know he handled your harddrives carefully
@chuck Gives new meaning to putting things into cold storage.
@chuck better safe than sorry 😂
@chuck cold storage
oh my god I hope nobody's said this yet
@chuck (Unrelated: I hope you saw the news about NewEgg leaking customer financial info recently)
@chuck silly little thing -- we used to put dying drives that were having trouble starting in the freezer to cause the metal to contract -- worked more often than not using the freezer on same drives -- spin them, grab whatever we could, harvest cool magnets. :-)
@chuck oh my fucking god ahahahaha
