A lot (but not all) of modern drives past the 8 TB mark are Helium filled. They are airtight.

  With sufficient time and motivation, that's not really a barrier. ;)

    even if you get it open, you better have a plan to refill it, because the helium is needed for the head to float above the platter properly.

      Of course, that's a given. ;)
