Besides just sounding cool, the new helium-filled hard drives introduced
by Western Digital this year are a game-changer in storage technology.
To put it simply, because their new highly efficient hard drives are
filled with helium rather than air, they can now cram 6 TB of capacity
into a single drive. You probably won’t be buying one of these any time
soon, but with big cloud-centered companies taking part, you just might
feel the benefits as a consumer of services like Netflix (especially now
that 4K streaming has been announced).
