Hard Drive Climate Risks & Data Loss Prevention in Columbus
Climate Zone: humid continental
Hot summers and cold winters with year-round precipitation
Columbus experiences humid-continental weather with rapid seasonal transitions that create humidity extremes: summer moisture near 70% and winter indoor heating dropping it below 20%, causing constant stress on drive components. Power grid fluctuations during Ohio's weather events can cause sudden shutdowns and file system corruption.
High temperatures can cause thermal expansion in drive components. Never leave drives in vehicles during summer. Ship with insulated packaging.
Extreme cold can make drive components brittle. Allow drives to reach room temperature before powering on. Use insulated packaging for winter 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.

Yes. Columbus'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.
Columbus's cold winters can make drive components brittle and cause lubricants to thicken. Never power on a frozen drive—let it acclimate to room temperature for several hours first. When shipping during winter, use insulated packaging to protect against temperature extremes during transit.
