don't trust these drives with any more than that
is the 20TB helium? helium atom is smaller than every other atom other than hydrogen, it will leak out of any seal over enough time - will they work when all the helium is gone?

Example helium filled drives used to be exclusivly on the enterprise offerings, but now is part of the better consumer drives.
Certain things like SLC for SSD's and such are still pretty eclusive to enterprise rated products.
But there are other nuances that the average user may not really care for such as SAS interface and IOPS, etc.
The end of the day they are rated for more endurance, have longer warranties, and often enteprise equipment gets pulled with really new stuff, that is why I would grab them in perfect situations, because you get a business liquidation sale and you can get those drives DIRT cheap.

I'm really hoping come late December we'll at least some drop on the lower capacity drives
But I'm just venting. Sorry for clogging up the thread.
