got langa and wondered.
get back here and I find out why..
I just had a 30 GB drive die on me.
it no londer spins...
I could try that freezer trick?
Tomorrow, the shop is open. 
get home, get dead drive, go to shop.
, get new disk in return (full warranty), maybe get cup of coffee...
I estimate it will take 19'48" (without coffee) to replace it.
data has always been on more than one drive.
and it was a data storage "backup" drive.
still, it wouldn't be funny had I not had that backup mentality.
its twin is currently getting the data that was saved to it, and this weeks new stuff.
I wonder what happened to cause this.

whatddaya think, should I put it in tha freezer?
