Sometime Today, Rony Bill assembled some asciibets to say:

Readily available. Standard freezer bags with ziplocks.
My experience (summarised):
Hard disk not detected - freezer bag - freezer - 24 hours - remove,
allow to reach room temperature, keep under fan to get rid of any
moisture - put into PC - hard disk detected and works for 1 week.
Repeat.
I bought a new hard disk when it stopped working the second time and
transferred the data after the 2nd 24 hour stay in the freezer.
HTH. YMMV.

PS: The hard disk in question was a Quantum Bigfoot 2GB drive (5 1/4"
drive).
