The Race to Seal Helium HDDs

Is heat a concern in HDDs? Vacuum would probably make it extremely difficult to cool if it's necessary.

Heat can still circulate through the metal parts. Which is a better heat transfer medium than air anyway.

No friction ... No heat

SSDs can get pretty hot though.

SSDs have lots of moving parts and friction, all the electrons are zipping around the circuits with friction. This creates heat :)
