Helium Opener (updated)

since when drives now need a can opener

[@DigBipper188]

When they started using helium atmospheres in them. Anything short of a perfect hermetic seal will not be able to stop the helium escaping the drive, and even then there's always going to be some losses over time because helium atoms are so tiny they can pass clean through seals. Even when they're perfectly hermetically sealed there is some loss of helium due to its ability to diffuse through heavier elements.

2.5" or 3.5" hard disk drives HDDs use what type of flash memory to store bios, firmware, SMART and what is the data retention time on that chip? I know they use a PCB

No, this is a video guide for using the HddSurgery Helium Opener tool. Try using 'joke' or 'funny' in the search bar. I hope this helps. 🖐
