The idea of filling hard drives with helium was announced by Hitachi GST representatives back in September ast year. Since then, every quarterly report Western Digital, which is now a division of HGST, is complete without a mention of the idea. Recall that the helium manufacturer is going to use to increase the density of magnetic platters inside the hard drive - instead of five, they will be seven pieces. In addition, the magnetic tracks can be placed too tightly, if you focus on the use of helium.
Of course, the first customers WD, experiencing these drives in the future will buy them for use in server systems, and for consumer PCs, this technology is still very far. At the last quarterly report conference WD representatives explained that it still intends to begin commercial shipment of small quantities of hard drives with a helium-filled before the end of the current calendar year. It will be promoted to the market a new technology in the future
