One word: hypnosis. Worked for me in a big way, when I had lost something very valuable and was going nuts trying to remember where I left it (in a drunken journey on foot through a city). I found it, because somewhere deep inside, one part of my brain knew exactly where it was, and the rest of me had forgotten.

Like many here, first thought was “why can’t you clone the drive?”. Apparently, not just a regular drive, it’s a USB stick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronKey

Though if it’s $220M worth on there, I bet you could pay Kingston $100M to figure out a way to image it.
