Helium filled hard drive, larger capacity and power saving

Not only the need balloon helium gas, it also needs gas disk which in theory makes things so lightly.

Western Digital (WD) through HGST company is currently developing a hard drive in it filled with helium gas instead of air that normally found in the hard drive.


To make the helium will not come out then the hard drive will be sealed to prevent the helium out.

According to them, replacing air with helium gas could make hard drive capacity increased to 40% and on one side would make more efficient use of electricity to 23%.

Finally, Helium also was able to make the hard drive temperature or cooler can lower the temperature to 4 ° C.
