Beware od some MacBook hard drives
Authored by: denty on Feb 07, '08 02:44:10AM

Thanks. I did ckeck this as one of my friend's MacBook drives died recently. It turns out my drive was a Toshiba. I'd dropped my MacBook Pro a few times, so I decided it was perhaps my own fault.

Apple's bug reference is # 5712347, though it is still in an 'open' state.

I got the replacement drive and, in the end, only lost two personal files (though I had to do a full OS re-install, as many of the /Applications bundles had been trashed).

Just a further note to say that Apple have identified this as a duplicate of bug # 5673197. They don't provide any further information, but at least it points to the fact they are actively looking into the matter.
