The present invention is directed to the detection of gas leaks from a gas-filled disk drive. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, gas leaks from a disk drive can be detected by monitoring certain disk drive parameters. Furthermore, different types and instances of disk drive parameters may be monitored. No or few additional hardware components are required to be added to a disk drive in connection with implementing embodiments of the present invention.
