Helium-filled hard drives may be our future storage option. Increased storage, less noise and reduced heating, reduced power consumption are just some improvements behind these types of hard drives.
Yet, no one had an opportunity to look inside the helium hard drives and to do a proper inspection of its mechanics. We believed that this challenge should be suitable for us, since we have a lot of experience in examination of the hard drives.Our research was recorded and presented as a short footage which we put on our blog, in the article Opening the helium hard drive – Video. Significant data was collected during the opening process and we put our main conclusions in this video presentation.
