Noticed this in my emails this morning...6TH Helium Hitachi available for purchase..
The size keeps increasing, "the opposite of Moore's law!"
SO if 6 is available today, will 10 be available year end, and possibly the 6TB will have a lower price point by then...
6TB HGST 0F18335 - SATA HDD 6TB Ultrastar He6 Enterprise SATA 6.0 Gb/s 7200rpm 64MB 3.5-in Bulk
Product Code: HD-HI-0F18335
Manufacturer: HGST
new!
Your Price: $804.99 / Each

Mfg. Model Number:
Model Number: HUS726060ALA640
Part Number: 0F18335
Warranty: 5 Years Manufacturer Warranty
Features and Benefits:
HGST delivers the world’s first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, the Ultrastar® He6 for massive scale-out environments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium has only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium inside a hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disk, cuts power consumption and results in a lower temperature within the disk drive.
The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HGST to offer a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor. In addition to being the world’s first helium-filled hard drive, HGST Ultrastar He6 is also the first hard drive in the industry to offer a 6-terabyte capacity. This design delivers a 50% capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%.
