What are the disadvantages of a hard drive with helium compared

>>61747028
The rotational velocidensity is reduced afaik

>>61747028
less air friction = manufacturer able to squeeze more platters into there, increasing effective storage space

also this >>61747068
reducing rotational velocidensity has a nice impact on the music you store on the drive.

You're computer will be slightly easier to lift.

fuck I read "advantages"
there's no disadvantages as long as the drive is tight.
and be sure to secure it to the floor in case the wind blows because it'll fly away.

Isn't it a disadvantage with more platters?

hybrid cached helium drives when?

>>61747130
for a datacenter which wants to squeeze as much data into the smallest possible area? I'd say it's an advantage.
I don't think there's any substantial failure rate increase compared to normal drives.

>>61747028
it's lighter
it's funnier

no seriously. less friction means less heat, less wear, greater longevity for both the heads and the platters.

>>61747130
more platters = more data. the main concern is vibrations, which helium also reduces.

the only disadvantage I can think of is what happens when or if the helium leaks out or drops below a certain pressure/proportion.
yes, gases do leak even in sealed metal containers. it's negligible, but measurable (look up gas permeation through metals)
I guess only time will tell (just like only time told us perpendicular magnetic recording or giant magnetoresistive heads are reliable)

All your audio will be in higher pitch.

>>61747701
More platters = More failures

Why are you ignoring this fact?

>>61747028
If you forget to lock your window, it can dissapear up into the air

ffs didn't you have a baloon as a kid?

Kill yourself autist.

Really tooted my horn there buddy.

more screws to hold it in place :(

Fucking stupid ass joke anon
Made me laugh, thanks
