Does the freezer trick even work these days? Grabbing data off a drive is working it quite hard, which is going to generate a fair amount of heat within a relatively short period of time.

As an example I have a WD 1TB drive in a caddy, if it's idle then it's barely warm, but when it's doing a backup it gets very hot.
