Retrodata, a U.K. data recovery firm , reported earlier this year that certain 2.5-inch Seagate drives used in MacBooks had a manufacturing flaw that causes the drive heads to scratch the surface of the drive and cause major problems.
InformationWeek contacted Apple about the problem, and a company representative said, “We’ve received a few reports that some MacBook consumer notebooks may have hard-drive issues, and we’re looking into it.” An e-mail to the same representative checking on whether or not that meant Apple was looking into the specific issue identified by Retrodata, or just MacBook hard-drive issues in general, was not immediately returned. Some MacBooks apparently have faulty Seagate hard drives.
