Apple looking into MacBook Seagate Hard Drive Data Loss Issue
There have been complaints that some MacBooks with certain Seagate hard drives are experiencing data loss issues. The drives in question have firmware revision 7.01 that can be found by looking under "Hardware->Serial-ATA" in the System Profiler after selecting the Seagate hard drive in the Serial-ATA Device Tree window.
According to News.com, Apple is looking into the matter.
"We've received a few reports that some MacBook consumer notebooks may have hard drive issues, and we're looking into it," said an Apple representative.
Our 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro has a Toshiba hard drive but our Mac mini Core Duo has the affected 80GB Seagate 2.5" model with firmware revision 7.01. The latter has shown no problems so far. [Dana Baggett & Bill Fox]
