[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 996359, member: 325666"] Interesting fact about the WD 8tb Red drives ..which are optimised for 24/7 use (Nasware Firmware) Instead of a air filter filled spaces ...they are sealed and filled with helium in order that the platters can be closer packed/stacked.. path of least resistance ...helium offers less resistance than air at the spin speeds. This is neccessary because they needed to get 7 platters in a space designed for a maximum of 6 ...in order to maintaing the drives physical size footprint. I do hope they are right about this .. lol [/QUOTE]
