This does work!
You can keep the drive cool by running canned air (it is really a refrigerant, currently R-112) over it while it is running.
My wife's hard drive crashed last month and a friend of mine took the drive out and was able to connect with some cabling tools to his computer and copied the drive.
It was much easier to keep canned air running over the drive while it was lying on the table connected externally to his computer.
