So, I'm hoping the HDD drives might have survived the drenching, at least on the inside. For some reason I'm thinking they are air tight to keep dirt out.
Yes, they are sealed, so dust (and water) cannot get between the heads and the platters, just let them dry them off and keep your fingers crossed.
That's not true. HDDs are not air tight. They have tiny holes (with a small filter in front of the hole) for respiration. Anyone who's opened a hard drive would have noticed this.
