Apple investigating MacBook hard drive problem
10:42AM, Tuesday 27th November 2007
Apple has begun investigating reports that some MacBook hard drives have manufacturing defects that can lead to data loss.
"We've received a few reports that some MacBook consumer notebooks may have hard drive issues and we're looking into it," the company says in a statement.
UK data recovery firm Retrodata first publicised the problem after receiving a number of drives in which the read/write head appeared to have fallen onto the disk surface, scratching it.
Retrodata managing director Duncan Clark claims that low-cost manufacturing processes used in China are to blame and urged users to regularly backup their machines (as Leopard's Time Machine does).
