Question about WD Red Plus

Just read on internet that some models of the 8To and 10To are filled with helium (sealed) and other with non-helium (air). Could you please tell me which one of these model it is ? Is there also a difference in term of technology with the 6 To? Thank you. FYI, sites that mentioned the helium filled: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-red-10tb-8tb-nas-hdd,5277.html#comment-list https://forums.unraid.net/topic/74638-wd-red-8tb-running-warm/

Since the model number alone does not indicate if it is helium filled or not, and stock may vary and by different suppliers, your best bet would be to actually order the product and check it yourself. From the following reddit thread the later models (probably current stock) should be air filled again. -> https://www.reddit.com/r...
