Default "The Helium Factor and Hard Drive Failure Rates"

"The Helium Factor and Hard Drive Failure Rates"
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/heliu...failure-rates/

"In November 2013, the first commercially available helium-filled hard
drive was introduced by HGST, a Western Digital subsidiary. The 6 TB
drive was not only unique in being helium-filled, it was for the moment,
the highest capacity hard drive available. Fast forward a little over 4
years later and 12 TB helium-filled drives are readily available, 14 TB
drives can be found, and 16 TB helium-filled drives are arriving soon."

Interesting. I do wonder about 5 and 10 years out.
