I think this is genius tbh. If you're faced with the prospect of losing important data and feeling silly for trying something so unorthodox I know which one I'd prefer. I've also seen videos on YouTube where repair technicians are able to temporarily fix broken (clicking) hard drives by giving them a good flick with their finger. It seems like magic to me. I've had a hard drive fail recently and I wish I knew about these methods. I wonder if there's any other hacks that might work for saving failing drives?
