Yes, we're routinely using Seagate 10-TB disks now. They're interesting, the top of the disk is welded into place to try to keep the helium inside. There's a low-helium alarm too. They're warrantied for 5-years, so we'll see.
I guess then that the gas is presurized. There might be some type of reservoir canister as well. Why helium, and not nitrogen? Helium is a noble gas, reacts with nothing. But nitrogen reacts with few things at those temperatures and is cheaper. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
