This thread has a FARM dump from a Seagate ST12000DM0007-2GR116 helium drive:

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/bought-seagate-drives-are-they-okay.3876090/

The drive reports a relative humidity of 17.5%. How is that possible?

does it say anything about the temperature? I guess that's the key factor here.

Yes, there are temperature stats, by how is it that there is humidity in the HDA? I thought the environment was pure helium. Am I wrong?

What is a helium hard drive?

A helium hard drive is a hard disk drive (HDD) with an internal enclosure that is filled and hermetically sealed with helium gas rather than oxygen.

<sigh>

The internal enclosure of today’s helium hard drives is hermetically sealed using sophisticated engineering and manufacturing techniques pioneered by Western Digital.

this is also bullshit, they bought out HGST and use their technoligy up to date...
