[ale] 6TB helium filled HD

[jim.kinney at gmail.com (Jim Kinney)]

Acmemicro has these new monsters in stock.

I think the use of helium as a filler gas makes sense. However, He is VERY
"leaky". It can escape from elastomeric seals . So I'm concerned of the
longevity of the He in the platter cavity.

Rebuilding RAID5/6 array of these drives is going to be long. They are
6Gbps enterprise SATA 3 (SAS soon I hope) so they should be ready anything
I can throw at them.

At $800+ each I won't be getting any soon :-(

Still want one (or six :-)
