I&#x27;m guessing these aren&#x27;t really consumer drives. :(<p>Might as well ask here. My 2TB Plex hard drive is getting full. What&#x27;s the best solution if I want say 10TB to store my media for Plex but very hands off?<p>I don&#x27;t want to weld any contraption just plug something in and have it be visible by Windows 10.

I&#x27;ve yet to find something more impressive to me than the fact that a hard drive can accurately find a single bit out of trillions on a spinning disk.

Helium is really hard to contain, (just ask SpaceX!) Do these leak and degrade, or do they have some magical way to keep the gas in?

Are these what people theorized Dropbox was using to get the densities they claimed in the BackBlaze pod threads?

Just wish someone would come out with a chassis like Synology DS2416&#x27;s and such. I&#x27;ve been using my actual Synology for so many years because I keep holding out the perfect chassis comes out.

I bought a Synology NAS this year: Highlights include the Amazon Cloud Drive backup, Plex Server, and it can hold four 4TB drives. No problems so far.

Why helium? I know it&#x27;s inert but there are many other noble gases. Why not some other gas? Also, why not create a vacuum to minimize friction?
