i have couple of these hdds for repair. they are tested and working very well, how can i solve this problem with gas sensor?

pump more gas in

pump more gas in

you are very very so so funny

I have several helium server disks and so far none have run low but its not rocket science to pump more into such a disk. More realistically it is advisable to get a new disk which will likely be stable for a while versus clinging to an old dying disk.

After working with dozens of EXOS hard drives, it has been proven to me that some of them report this error unrealistically. This is a factory bug, and there is a problem in the sensor system and its related circuitry.

I’ve seen similar issues with some Seagate drives, seems like the gas sensor error is a known bug on certain models. It might be worth checking with Seagate support or trying a firmware update if you haven’t already

How would you do this and maintain the seal?

ISTR that HDDSurgery is able to recover Seagate helium models in an air environment. If so, then the fact that a Seagate helium model continues working with a SMART sensor failure would be inconclusive evidence of a bug. I would compare the temperatures of a good and "bad" Seagate helium model under the same workload. The good drive should run significantly cooler.

Try Crystal Disk Info which does show helium levels in server class disks.

Helium allows for 8 or even 9 plates in the media spindle. Helium has far less friction vs air.
