3yr warranty too--not bad.

the 6 is air rather than helium like the 8 right? wish I had gotten that instead of the $130 8tb but way too late

same $$ per gig but won't stop working when the helium leaks out eventually

The helium is not under pressure so it has no reason to leak out. It will outlast the life of the drive.
