They're undoubtedly in some sort of raid, so they're going to need to un-rack every device, pull every single drive, label its position within the raid set, pack them properly, then store in a temperature controlled environment. Then follow along, slotting new drives they purchased in every single slot, then re-rack the whole device. All in the hope that one day Kim will 1) Win and 2) decide it's worth it to get the data back for a business model & product he's left behind.

You don't need to store the hard drives in a temperature controlled environment. Look at the range they can exist in when turned off...

Not only that, but I imagine that even if a couple drives died in the mean time, it wouldn't be a big loss.
