A reader working at an Apple approved center of maintenance informed us that they too often have to replace the Seagate disks of MacBooks.
It is certainly the famous series to the firmware 7.0.1 that has such an alarming failure rate.
Until now, neither Seagate, nor Apple who installed a good number of these disks communicated officially on this subject.
It should be said that manufacturer of disks and of computers cannot be held responsible for any loss of data, even though, in this case, it is foreseeable.
We use this opportunity to remind everyone. Back up your data as often as necessary. The frequency of these backups must be driven by only one factor, the amount of data you are ready to lose in the event of sudden breakdown.
