With certain exceptions, talk of advanced hard disk technology regularly has trouble getting away research labs. Western Digital's HGST is promising an infinitely more tangible project that may boost data capabilities with a wide margin. By filling the gaps between drive platters with less buffeting-prone helium rather than air, HGST can securely fit as much as seven platters inside a typical, 3.5-inch desktop hard disk rather than the present five. Choosing the low density gas produces a raft of side benefits, for example fitting more data on one platter together with lowering the drag that both slows lower and gets hotter the disk. We'll have to hang about until 2013 to determine shipping helium-filled drives within our Computers because of the slightly exotic character from the technique, though, we wouldn't rely on HGST or Western Digital providing drives free of charge like balloons in a birthday celebration.
