    Replacement hard drive left out in cold. Still good?


    I had a replacement hard drive sent to me from newegg. It was delivered on 2/11/2021 i was away yesterday day tending to my mother who is sick. I didn't get home till 2 am this morning it is now 2:22am on 2/12/2021. The temps here was in the 20's Fahrenheit is the drive still good if i leave it to warm up for a few days? I never left one in the cold so i really have no clue. I have built alot of pc's for me and my family but i never left parts outside that long before.

    Windows 10 Build 19041.450.

    :)

    Condensation is the thing to watch for. If your drive was delivered in a sealed bag, you may well be fine.

    Bring it slowly to room temp in a dry environment.

    You can of course check rated storage temp range for your drive as well.
