Hard Drive Climate Risks & Data Loss Prevention in Tampa
Climate Zone: tropical
Hot and humid year-round with heavy rainfall
Tampa's tropical climate creates multiple simultaneous corrosion threats: constant 85°F+ temperatures, humidity regularly exceeding 80%, Gulf Coast salt air, and hurricane season flooding. If your drive was exposed to storm surge or flooding, never power it on—saltwater damage requires immediate professional cleanroom recovery.
Humidity can accelerate corrosion on drive platters and electronic components. Store drives in sealed bags with silica gel packets before shipping.
If your drive has been exposed to water, do NOT power it on. Place it in an open container (not sealed) and contact us immediately for water damage recovery.
Power surges during storms can damage drives. If you experienced outages, avoid repeated power-on attempts which can worsen damage.
High temperatures can cause thermal expansion in drive components. Never leave drives in vehicles during summer. Ship with insulated packaging.
Coastal salt air accelerates electronic corrosion. Store drives in sealed, climate-controlled environments. Clean exterior contacts before shipping.
General Storage Recommendations
Keep drives at 50-80°F with 30-50% relative humidity. Store in anti-static bags away from direct sunlight and magnetic sources. When shipping, use original packaging when possible or pack securely with bubble wrap in a sturdy box.

Tampa's salt air and humidity can accelerate drive corrosion. Store drives in sealed anti-static bags with silica gel packets, away from windows and exterior walls. If shipping during humid months, use insulated packaging. If your drive was stored in a coastal environment and has failed, don't attempt to power it on repeatedly—this can worsen corrosion damage.
Yes. Tampa's summer temperatures can cause thermal stress that damages drive components. Never leave drives in vehicles during summer—interior temperatures can exceed 150°F. If your drive was exposed to extreme heat and failed, let it return to room temperature gradually before any recovery attempt. Rapid cooling can cause additional damage from condensation.
Yes, we specialize in water-damaged drive recovery. If your drive was exposed to floodwater during a hurricane: DO NOT power it on, place it in an open container (not sealed), and ship it to us as soon as possible. The longer water sits on internal components, the more corrosion occurs. We've successfully recovered data from hurricane-damaged drives across the Gulf Coast.
If your drive was exposed to floodwater: 1) Do NOT power it on, 2) Do NOT dry it with heat, 3) Keep it in an open container at room temperature, 4) Ship it to us within 48-72 hours if possible.
