the simple reason is, these drives are welded shut with helium inside. it's the only way to keep helium sealed reliably for years. if drives with a capacity this high weren't filled with helium, the turbulence caused by normal air would make it impossible for them to work properly.
Hello, As this is a mechanical drive, I have an important question .... How many physical spinning disks are there in the new 20TB model ? I can't find this information anywhere : ((
Worth nothing that the equivalent from WD has nine platters. It would seem that is the general limit for WD and Toshiba at this time, though apparently Tosh are getting ready to deploy ten plats.
A fresh can of 12tb Seagate EXOS
Tuna can cover is annoying! Thank you for showing us the way
It looks like You need a pair to save some of trouble.
Can you recover data from helium drives or is it still being researched?
I have the same doubt.
Yes they can. It will be expensive.

I understand that someone who doesn't deal with hard drives would open them this way, but a professional...🤯

The latest X20 series has 10 disks. You can find this info in the PDF manual (not data sheet) on Seagate’s website.

so, for each two TB, using 1 disk?
