   Anything which is cooled significantly   
   in other than a perfectly dry environment   
   will see condensation. Try it with something   
   where condensation doesnt matter like a glass

   But not with hard drives when you can ensure   
   that you don't get condensation by putting it in   
   a plastic bag overnight in the freezer and keeping   
   it in the plastic bsg in a drive docking thing when   
   you see if that fixes the problem with the drive   
   temporarily
