Helium
drives are hard disks that utilize the characteristic lightness of
helium gas to increase the medium’s potential speed and storage
density. Potential speed and density are increased because helium is
less dense than air, creating less drag and turbulence. With fewer
disturbances inside the drive, more platters can fit and less power
is required. HelioSeal process that seals helium in the drive and
provides the highest capacity drives and exceptional power
efficiency. It enables faster speeds and higher capacities. Helium is
used as it is an inert gas that offers less resistance than other
gases present in the air enabling helium-filled hard drives to have
reduced power requirements, weight, disk vibration, mechanical wear
and drive temperature. Enhanced demand of helium disk drives is due
to increased reliability as use of helium in drives reduces internal
friction and vibration. This reduces wear and tear, and also lowers
energy usage. It also helps in better track misregistration (TMR) due
to reduced vibration on disk, arm and suspension. Lower density of
helium which is one-seventh that of air makes a high-density, large
platter design possible. Technically, helium could be used to spin
fewer platters at higher speeds. By replacing the air in a hard drive
with helium, the disks inside create less turbulence when they spin,
meaning more discs can be packed into less space and use less power.
Helium inside drive helps in heat reduction, increased platter
density and speed, reduced waste of energy, increased number of
platters from five to seven with more storage and less noise. By
replacing the air in a hard drive with helium the disks inside create
less turbulence when they spin so that more discs can be packed into
less space and use less power. Helium drives reduce strain on the
disk's platters while the seals keep moisture and other contaminants
out. Less drag means the drives operate at temperatures that are four
to five degrees cooler than required by existing drives. Helium
filled disks also reduce mean time between failure (MTBF). Helium
drives are an efficient and optimized solution for data centers which
manage huge amount of data.

Helium
drives include a low-power design without compromising on
performance, which helps in reducing total cost of ownership. Higher
capacities, lower operational costs and increased efficiencies has
increased the demand for helium drives. Factors such as greater power
efficiency, enhanced storage density, lower cooling requirements and
environmental friendly storage along with increasing demand in data
centers are anticipated to drive the market during the forecast
period.
High
capacity helium drives are not available for a standard user so
information/data about the hard disk drives (HDD) performance is not
available and such HDDs are majorly designed for data centers. Major
challenge faced is keeping the gas wrapped within the enclosure for
the lifetime of the drive. Along with that, helium drives are
expensive to manufacture. All such factors are expected to restrain
the market growth during the forecast period. Though increased demand
of optimized and efficient drive solutions are likely to drive the
market.
Market
for helium drive is segmented on the basis of geography and
environmental deployment. On the basis of geographical regions,
market can be segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific,
South America and Middle East & Africa. On the basis of
environmental deployment, market is segmented into on-premise and
cloud based. Demand of helium drives is increasing rapidly in the
cloud deployment due to big data and huge adoption of cloud.
Seagate
and Western Digital are the pioneers of helium drive technology,
however more players are anticipated to enter the market during the
forecast period.
