Looking for a Helium drive for my computer build

[Toxikaraidur]

Attempting to find a Helium Hard drive in today's search engines, even ones optimized for finding the 'right hard drive for you' is a bit like pulling teeth from a calcified mummy with tweezers.
The company websites, such as Seagate, Toshiba, and Western Digital are not forthcoming about it. and doing searches with CTRL + F with "Helium" tends to reveal zero instances in reviews as well.

I'm looking for a helium filled hard drive with really good performance, areal density, a good buffer cache (64MB okay, more preferred) and a really large size with even number of TB's. (2, 4, 6, 8 at the limit.)
And very preferable, something that isn't over 320 USD (I plan to have more than one).

Suggestions are very much welcome and I thank you all in advance!

Funny, a 1.5 second search for helium on Newegg got me this:

Is this relatively quiet?

Is this helium filled?

Why 'helium'?
The only reason to specify a helium filled drive is to be able to say that you have a drive filled with helium.

Capacity and price are the key concepts. Not whatever gas exists inside the case.

Better power efficiency and typically less noise. Along with the better stability due to more high end, carefully selected componentry inside as well as the firmware manager to help with noise, vibration, and stability. The MTBF is also usually better than the other ones due to the lighter gas inside.

And you have some documentation/reviews showing that helium filled drives are more stable/reliable/quieter/less vibration/more efficient, vs other non-helium drives of the same size?

Helium came into play with the larger drives. Generally 8TB and above.
I have an 8TB Seagate, non-helium. Was ~$220 when I bought it last year. At least as quiet as any other drive of the same vintage, and quieter than some others I have around here.

But....searching for them is trivial.
For instance, 10 seconds at amazon returned these:
HGST - 8TB Enterprise, $370

Hitachi - 6TB, $360
