I have a somewhat off-topic question: are the new 10/12 TB HDD filled with helium (He)? Last time I've checked on WesternDigital and Seagate sites I couldn't find any mention of it.

Yo! I believe the 10TB ST10000NM0086 ones are helium!

      Aside: HN needs a way to indicate hard line break which doesn't cause 1.5 spacing, aside from the code indent with its too-narrow scroll window.

  Thanks! Indeed they mention helium on their Exos X line but not on the Ironwolf models (for example the ST12000VN0007). For now I'll stick with the plain offer. ^__^;
