Hydrogen is cheaper, equally lightweight, and in pure form it's not combustible so theoretically a sealed hard drive with hydrogen should work about as well as helium drive. Plus with hydrogen is lighter, which could shave a few pounds off entire case of drives and cut cost of shipping by some.

So I was wondering, why hasn't that happened yet? Afraid that if the drive springs a leak, it'd blow up?
