300 could buy 8TB helium filled hard drives produced by Western Digital

Helium filled into a mechanical hard disk, you can reduce the air resistance, and reduces power consumption. From 2013 onwards, Western Digital subsidiary HGST provided with helium technology of hard disk, however, this technique has not been applied in the consumer hard disk, until today.

Helium was first HGST developed technology is now widely spread, shipped over 4 million dollars. It replaced the traditional air with helium in the hard drive, allows the disc to each other closer, which in the case of no single platter capacity enhancements into more discs and raise the overall capacity.

For example, the current 3.5-inch hard drives only in up to five discs, after helium can be increased to seven. In this way, if a single platter capacity 1TB, theory of the whole hard drive capacity up to 7TB Disney iPhone 6 Case

Now, helium technology has also been used on the consumer hard drive, Western Digital Corporation has officially released the sealed 8TB helium hard drive. New hard drives with larger capacity, more powerful data processing capabilities and better heat dissipation the ability to stimulate the potential customer’s desire to buy.

Western Digital releases My Book, My Book for Mac, My Cloud is upgraded to 8TB, the price is $ 299.99. My Book Duo, My Book Pro, My Cloud Mirror, My Cloud EX2 Ultra are double the total capacity run 16TB,RAID 0 array, which My Cloud Mirror for $ 900, 16TB Desktop Edition My Book Duo, priced at $ 550, all 2 8GB RAID hard drives.

Brought Western Digital internal hard drive: WD Red 8TB, for NAS devices; WD Purple 8TB, safety-oriented system is not clear internal hard drive prices, but with the price of My Book as a reference, internal hard drive prices is expected to be slightly lower.

Western Digital helium hard drive (consumer) release of bixijie only about 2 months late, but Seagate helium is designed for business users, rather than the normal user.

Seagate in January, also has released a helium-filled hard drive, 10TB, Enterprise 3.5 Capacity series is part of the enterprise, cloud storage, data center to meet the growing needs of hard disk capacity. Current major customers including China’s Huawei, and Alibaba’s two companies. This helium-filled hard disk price is expected to reach us $ 800.

Seagate hard drive has a built-in 3.5-inch standard size 7 discs, 14 heads, 1.4TB single-disc capacity, should use imbricated magnetic recording technology. Such small bodies within next 7 discs, thanks to its use of helium hard drive packaging technologies, this is Seagate first to adopt this packaging technology. Seagate have always been reluctant to use helium technology until the HGST 10TB a large number of shipments, Seagate cannot but face the reality. Helium can make between the hard discs get closer and more discs and raise the overall capacity.

This 10TB optional both SATA and SAS hard drive interfaces, transmission speed of 6Gbps, 12Gbps respectively, speed is 7200RPM, other specifications are still yet to be released. Officials say supports advanced caching algorithms, PowerChoice standby cooling technology, 24×7 does not run continuously.
