雖然我們大多數人不需要隨身攜帶外接硬碟,但有些人可能需要隨身攜帶。考慮到這一點,明顯的溫度差異會對硬碟產生負面影響嗎?今天的超級使用者問答帖子回答了一位憂心忡忡的讀者的問題。

超級使用者讀者misha256想知道外部USB硬碟是否有內部冷凝的風險:
Apparently, you can kill a USB hard-drive by moving it from a cold temperature environment to a warm one and powering it up (the killer being internal condensation).
How real is the risk? What kind of temperatures are we talking about? I do not want to waste time acclimatizing my hard-drive every day if it is not necessary. Are there technologies or soluti*** available to mitigate the risk?
Surprisingly, I have found nothing useful on the Internet that provides satisfactory answers to my questi***.
外部USB硬碟是否存在內部冷凝的風險?
超級使用者貢獻者harrymc為我們提供了答案:
Condensation is a real danger for hard-drives. You can see in a real-life YouTube dem***tration by a data-recovery specialist what a hard-drive looks like when taken out of a freezer and briefly turned on (it is full of scratches):
Such scratches could possibly damage the hard-drive to a point where even a data-recovery specialist would be unable to recover the data. A Control Data (later Seagate) factory packaging manual for hard-drives says:
It seems that dangerously low temperatures start when a computer is brought in from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) into a room-temperature area and it may need several hours for acclimatization. This long time is explained by the fact that in a mechanical hard-drive, the head is supported by airflow entering through special air-intakes. These intakes are heavily filtered against dust, but not against humidity. They are also **all enough that it slows down the evaporation process of internal humidity.
You could possibly minimize the acclimatization time by wrapping the disk in watertight plastic while it is acclimatizing in order to reduce the humidity that would enter via the air-intakes. You should allow for some drying-off time after unwrapping the disk (for the humidity in the air already contained inside the disk).
This is not the only danger, as explained by data-recovery specialist ReWave Recovery:
