HGST 6Tb Models

[Jared]

So I see the HGST has finally caught back up to the others with a 6Tb model.

I notice they mentioned a new technology called RVS (Rotational Vibration Safeguard). I wonder if they opted to do this instead of taking the helium route for now...

Actually on further investigation I see they've been using this on their enterprise drives since 2Tb (which never seem to fail). Its a set of vibration sensors mounted on the PCB used to anticipate vibration.

So I wonder then if these are filled with helium as previously announced
