    I'm wondering about the effectiveness and longevity of the seal.
    If seal fails, what happens?
    Cheers.

    The hard-drive industry has been eyeing helium since the 1970s, but no company has ever been able to make it work because helium has a tendency to leak out of whatever container it’s placed inside -- the same phenomenon that causes birthday balloons to droop a few days after a celebration. The result for a helium-filled hard drive is more serious: it’ll stop working.

    Yep. Even with a 5-year warranty I'd still be leery. Only time will tell ...
