Freezing a hard drive causes problems. For instance there is moisture all in a freezer. Moisture will destroy your HDD. If it freezes to long the little thing that reads the drives can completely scratch the disks on the platter. It's not worth the risk IMO.

I wouldn't try it with moisture or not.

But some freezers have moisture control on them, so that you don't end up with ice on the things you put into it the could lead to freezer burnt items. So that might not be a problem in my opinion. I just don't know why it has worked for some people. But it has. I just won't be trying it. You are supposed to put it inside a plastic bag as well when you do it from what i've read. So I don't think moisture would be a problem in that case.

Never had a Hard Drive issue before because I maintain mine properly and do frequent maintenance like defrag and disk cleanup.

The HD froze.
Maybe it got overheated?
