Hard Drive Climate Risks & Data Loss Prevention in Portland
Climate Zone: oceanic
Mild temperatures year-round with frequent rain
Portland's oceanic climate brings frequent rain and high humidity year-round; the Pacific Northwest rarely experiences the dry conditions that hard drives prefer. Drives stored in Portland basements, home offices, or creative studios accumulate moisture continuously, especially during the rainy season (October-May). If your drive failed during Portland's rainy season, moisture damage is extremely likely.
Humidity can accelerate corrosion on drive platters and electronic components. Store drives in sealed bags with silica gel packets 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.

SSD Failures in Portland
Portland's creative agencies and documentary producers store project files on portable NVMe SSDs that face constant Pacific Northwest moisture. Humidity corrodes M.2 edge connectors and causes intermittent detection issues before the SSD stops responding entirely. Firmware corruption from unclean shutdowns during rain-season power flickers is another common failure mode. The drive shows 0MB or disappears from BIOS, but the NAND chips still hold the data. We recover creative project files from dead SSDs by bypassing the failed controller and reading the flash directly through PC-3000.
