The noise went away for a few days, then returned - this time with an intermittent beeping. A few days later, he began hearing a series of clicks. "But this hasn't been broadly confirmed as of this writing," the site reported.Īmong those who have also seen the problem is a Computerworld editor who in July bought a 15-in MacBook Pro with the 7,200-rpm drive. Sometimes, after about a minute, the machine will carry out the task you clicked to do, but then immediately go back to being unresponsive."ĪppleInsider said users appeared to solve the problem by replacing the beeping/clicking Momentus 7200.4 drive with a more recent models. After it booted, any click on an icon rendered the MBP useless - beach ball and unresponsive. Then., 2 weeks into owning the machine, a cold start first thing in the morning took 10 minutes. It started to get sluggish after about 2-3 days. I usually give this machine a workout - running VMWare virtual machine with a host of other apps on the Mac side. Then, performance got progressively worse. At first, I thought it was just a new HD technology that occasionally made noise. For the first week after I got it, it was normal, except for the weird electronic beeping coming from the HD. On the AppleInsider site, a user named "mgoldman" said: "I bought a 3.06GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200RPM MPB the week they were announced. Upset MacBook Pro owners also weighed in on forums at AppleInsider.
Additionally, it happens at any time, even when the computer is sitting on a perfectly still table." It is definitely not a beep from the speaker. I am experiencing a strange hard drive click followed 80% of the time by a beep. The hard drive appears to be a Seagate ST9500420ASG.
One user from Southern California, "wessto," posted comments on an Apple discussion forum describing the problem: "I recently purchased a new MBP 15, 3GHz, 500 GB 7200 rpm hard drive, build-to-order.
