Also, I think I have a workaround for the sata feedthrough. Can you please pm me the guy you think can make the enclosure?

I'm in Portugal. UK manufacturing is not a problem.

Yep, the trick will be stabilizing the enclosure with HE and then reading it. I'll be making some questions to manufacturers in the hopes of creating said enclosure. A little bit scared on the pricing though.

Without going into much details, there are ways to trick some sensors on HE drives. This forces the spindle to spin at the desired RPM, but the head height ends up being the issue that kills the new head assembly. With HE r/w happens on a lower plane compared to air. My hope with this research...

I did. Both links provide nothing new to what we know. But you are probably right, purity shouldn't be an issue, however pressure will.

One thing about these drives is that they also need a certain pressure to work optimally. Our solution so far is by tricking the sensors into believing the readings are correct. I think that a metal container, with 2KF connectors for air out and helium in + another connector for the sata/power...

Yes! This us exactly what I have been thinking! Do you have any companies you know that you could refer? As a bonus, where should I get said training? (Or atleast documentation) Thank you so much for your input!

Hi! There is no need to operate on the device while it is running. Ideally it would only be needed a box to purge oxygen and insert helium while the HDD is connected to a power and sata port.

Hello experts, First post here, and the reason I have found this forum is because I've spent the past few hours trying to figure something out. I'm in the field of data recovery, and we are starting to see helium filled drives. They are starting to be filled with HE due to factors like less...
