Apple Macbook(Pro) Harddrive Crash
There have been some writing the last couple of days after a data recovery company have said that all 2.5" [stag]Seagate[/stag] harddrives made in China used in [stag]Apple Macbook[/stag] and Macbook Pro's can crash due to a hardware failure.
The thing is that a manufacture can be unlucky and release a batch of "faulty" drives into the wild, and people using them can (will) loose data. The good thing is that if this happens Apple will replace the harddrive (that is why we have warrenty), and probably with one which does not have any faults. In the mean time, remember to backup you data.
Now the funny thing is this (not the loosing data part) is that at work I've had 4 computers from Dell which all of them came with 2 Maxtor harddrives. And of these 8 harddrives I've had 6 of them replaced due the a crash, and the amount of data lost on this is more than I want to think about. But Dell knew about this issues, and everyone who got a computer from Dell would have a catastrophic failure and data loss at some point. But there was no recall or no big writing on the wall for that reason.
