They use up to 22% less power and generate less heat than other types of data storage. This can add up quickly for a data center trying to reduce its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Theoretically, they may also be more reliable and last longer than conventional drives. All drives will eventually fail, and helium drives haven\u2019t been around long enough to get an accurate sense of the failure rate. However, it stands to reason that because there is less friction in a helium drive than in a traditional hard drive, there is less chance of damage. Of course, this is only provided that the device is properly treated and cared for.<\/p>\n<p>As climate change becomes a growing concern worldwide, many businesses are now required by their customers and, in some countries, governmental organizations to attain sustainability certifications and show improved carbon footprints over time. Helium drives use less energy and may need to be replaced less frequently, so using them is an excellent strategy for lowering a business\u2019s carbon footprint\u2014particularly companies that utilize large servers or data centers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_column-gap-25 wpex-vc-full-width-row wpex-vc-full-width-row--centered wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f11be70{font-size:2em;font-family:Oswald;font-weight:600;line-height:1.2;}@media (max-width:959px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f11be70{font-size:1.5em;}}@media (max-width:767px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f11be70{font-size:1.5em;}}@media (max-width:479px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f11be70{font-size:1.5em;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h3 vc_custom_1667257602358 vcex_69de64f11be70\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">How Can I Maintain These Drives For Optimal Performance and Lifetime Usage?<\/span><\/h3>\n\t<div style=\"color:#222222;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>To maintain your helium hard drive for optimal performance and lifetime usage, follow the same guidelines as for HDD:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid extreme temperatures.\u00a0<\/b>Always store your hard drive at room temperature, and make sure you don\u2019t leave it in direct sunlight, where it could overheat.
