Good points. I do put materials  which I want to keep dry, in the
freezer (photo film in "those days", and some foods). My auto-defrost
freezer is pretty dry, but they get wet from condensation when removed
from the freezer. A sealed plastic bag at that point might be wise.

Thanks for the reminder.

My concern is the sudden changes in temperature certainly can't be good 
for the drive.  From room temperature, to freezer, back to room 
temperature I would expect would very likely generate condensation. 
Further, the drastic changes in the temperatures is not good either.
