I used a temperature/humidity chamber designed for environmentally stress testing electronics when I did the freezer trick.
This machine has holes for cables already, so it was pretty easy. I set the chamber to 2 deg. C (water to ice expansion would be bad if water is inside the drive) and a low relative humidity setting, turned the computer and drive on, and got the data off. Worked like a charm!
