The thing with a mechanical hard drive is that you stand a chance of data recovery, but when an SSD goes I have found it's dead, with 99.9% chance of recovery and no amount of freezing it will help LOL! I advise people when I see potential problems and give people a cost, and then it's up to them. When they do have an issue, my sympathy is now long gone, with the only satisfaction being that I had taken the time to advise them at some point that this would happen, but they chose not to listen or be proactive.
I remember going to a job for another client who is a solicitor and also involved in politics as well now, and the PC was an ancient old thing that had developedbadd blocks, but the data was semi-salvageable.
I was basically threatened that I had better get the pictures back because they were of his wedding... Would be interesting for me to bring that up considering this same person has decided to become a bit high profile over here in Scotland these last few days... saying people are against him.... with his attitude I am not surprised!
