For different reasons, the news about the limited availability of helium on our planet has affected many .
The U.S. currently cover 75% of the world industry in helium, draining previously accumulated in underground storage gas. If we do not invest in the development of new sources, at the present consumption rate existing stocks of commercial helium will be enough for five or six years. In the future, Americans plan to engage in Wyoming gas production , and foreign suppliers rely on a couple of natural gas fields in the Middle East and Africa. Although helium is quite common in the universe, on Earth it is produced in the processing of natural gas.
So, returning to the prospects of helium reserves extermination in the world, Hitachi staff explained that the production of hard disk drives using the new technology only slightly increase gas consumption. Cost of filling hard drives will be balanced with helium density increases the information available, which will raise the selling prices of drives. Note that the first few years after the introduction of technology , only some of the hard drives will use helium, designed primarily for use in servers. According to independent experts, the appearance of hard drives filled with helium will increase worldwide consumption of gas on the strength of a hundredth percent. Related Products :
