If humdity is what kills hard drives.....

..... then wouldn't also sealing the drive's PCB (with the disk controller) with Helium help?
This for data centers that would like to use free air cooling, but have too much humidity.

High relative humidity causes disk failures largely due to controller/adapter malfunction.
Disk controller/connectivity failures are greatest during high relative humidity.
High temperatures are not harmless, but are much less significant than other factors.
