HGST Releases 10Tb Hard Drives

[Jared]

Wow, if I could afford to I'd love to load my NAS up with 8 of these: http://betanews.com/2015/06/09/hgst-ann ... ard-drive/

Thought the SMR part still scares me.

Anyone here actually worked on any of the helium filled ones? I have yet to seen one show up, but I suppose that's because they're all enterprise drives.

More pain to work with....

I just can't wait to start hearing the YouTube videos of head swapping these with guys who sound like Mickey Mouse. :lol: :lol:

Look closely...there are no screws on top, as it is my understanding that these drives are completely sealed.

There has to be some way they secured the cover onto it, I'd guess that if you take the label off you'd be able to see some sort of mechanism to open it. I noticed this on a Newegg video:

Looks like it's either a spot where a screw is, or possibly a valve to pump helium inside.
