I can also vouch for these findings. I have used that freezing trick to recover information from several failing drives. It doesn't bring them back to life fully (ie. don't try to boot off them), but I was able to mount them with a Linux LiveCD and dump what I needed back to another empty drive.
As for the laptop drive on a desktop, if you need something quicker, CompUSA does carry them, but they are about twice the price as the ones at Cables to Go. However, when you need that report ASAP, you might not be able to wait for shipping!
