Probably too late now but are we talking 2.5" drive or 3.5"? SSD or Spinning Platters?
If its a 3.5" Spinning Platter drive you might be in luck - Generally they are air tight so one assumes water tight too so the platters are probably ok.
The only main issue would be the controller being ****ed, which if its wet is likely.
And thats where it being a 3.5" drive comes in... Depending on manufacturer the board can normally be removed. If you can find another drive with the same board you can swap them and retrieve your data - Ive done this once because I shorted a board by being stupid.. though I had two identical drives to hand already - you might not be as lucky getting one that will work.Comment
