What if........

say the fan in your PC catches on fire. Can you pull the hard drive out and have pics saved off of it?

If you are posting this using said PC, then probably yes

If its burnt to a crisp, then probably no...

If the Hard Drive is not damaged then yes you can salvage everything off of it when you take it out. I bought this for a lap top that I had screen issues with and removed the HD and just moved everything to the new PC.

I'm at work. My wife got it put out. I'll look at it when I get home. We're lucky someone was there. It could have caught the house on fire.

Depending which fan, very likely the motherboard isn't damaged. Replace fan and keep using the of.
