Why Is Western Digital Optimistic about Helium-Based Storage Products?

Why Is Western Digital Optimistic about Helium-Based Storage Products?

Western Digital (WDC) has been able to lead the capacity enterprise market driven by its helium-based products. According to a PRNewswire report, companies such as WDC and Netflix (NFLX) use “helium to increase the speed and density of hard drives to provide faster access to data.” WDC’s HGST was the first to launch a helium hard drive resulting in a significantly lower cost of ownership. WDC’s high capacity 10-TB (terabyte), 12-TB, and 14-TB helium drives are seeing demand from hyperscale customers.
