Thanks for the links.

Am guessing that impact is not that good for the delicate parts.

Do you or anyone else have success data for freezing HDs?

The reason I am hesitant to subject this HD to harsh treatment is
that it was working fine when I put it in storage.

Am now thinking that it could be a power contact problem? Will
corroded contacts or poor power contacts give this type of symptom? I
have never head any motor noise of any kind. What do you think?
