The cost of helium will be insignificant. He has a molecular mass of 4, so 4 grams gives you 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure. So 1 gram of helium should give you about 50 drives (at 100cc each). Helium is like, 25 cents a gram. 2 cents a hard drive. If it goes up 100 times in price, it'll still be cheap compared to the cost of the drive ($2 a drive). It'll probably still be cheap, compared to the added cost of sealing the drive.
