Hello,

I have a mpb bought in 2008. 1 year ago the hdd started making some strange noise which finally led to becoming slow and slow. Finally it crashed and I couldnt use it any more. This was the original hdd.
Since then I had another hdd with the same problem and now this one is the second one I buy. Total 3 hdds.

This particular one has lasted more than the other 2 but a few weeks ago started making that strange noise and i am quite sure it is going to crash quite soon.

I use 9 different spaces... finder, skype, amsn, safari, firefox, itunes, jdownlader, and some office docs in average 10 hours per day. I also used not to shut it down but put it into sleep mode.


do you think this may have caused the failure ?

Also, I recently noticed that my dvd drive is not working at all. When I put a cd/dvd it start the reading procedure but in the end it spits it out.


thanks in advance..

regards,

/T.
