HelioSeal HDs, can recovery places salvage these yet?

[Elixer]

I was curious, do recovery places have the equipment to handle helium filled HDs?

Also, has anyone actually purchased one of these bad boys, and have some comments about them?

I was thinking of trying one of these for long term storage, but, unsure how long these would last. They do have a 2.5 million MTBF, and 5-year warranty, so, I assume they can retain their helium for at least 5 years?

I haven't had any of these pass through here yet, but I'm sure that it is a matter of time.

Does that mean you don't have the equipment to "reseal" the drive with helium?

We haven't fully researched these drives yet, but I do believe that they will still function without helium, long enough to complete the recovery.

You are going to do a few test runs, right?

Of course. We are also in constant communication with dozens of other data recovery labs around the globe.
