Hard Drive Climate Risks & Data Loss Prevention in New Orleans
Climate Zone: humid subtropical
Hot, humid summers with mild winters
New Orleans faces the highest flood risk of any major US city, combined with extreme humidity, hurricane exposure, and salt air from the Gulf. If your drive was exposed to floodwater; especially saltwater intrusion during hurricanes; never power it on. Contaminated water requires immediate professional clean bench recovery. Every hour of delay increases corrosion damage.
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.

We recover failed hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays, and NAS devices from film production operations using PC-3000 professional tools and clean bench procedures.
SSD Failures in New Orleans
New Orleans' energy sector and film production companies run NVMe SSDs in field laptops and editing workstations. Hurricane-season power surges blow the PMIC on SSDs in a fraction of a second; the NAND retains data but the controller is dead. Gulf Coast humidity also accelerates corrosion on M.2 connectors, causing intermittent failures before the SSD stops responding entirely. We recover data from surge-damaged and corroded SSDs by replacing the destroyed power IC, cleaning corroded contacts, and reading the NAND through PC-3000.

New Orleans'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. New Orleans'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.
