Hi guys,
In the 18 months I've had my Macbook, my harddrive has crashed three times! The first happened two months after I got it, then two other times after that about six months apart.
Luckily, when it crashed the third time a few weeks ago, the Apple store just gave me a brand new one (thank god for Apple Care).
I'm hoping that there was just something wrong with that machine and that it won't happen again on this new one. Does anybody know what else could possibly kill a harddrive three times? I rarely ever take it off my laptop stand, so I highly doubt it could be physical damage. Could I be doing something else wrong? Could the extra RAM I put in be a problem? It's not crap RAM or anything. Could my speakers or something else be shocking it? It's not like I mistreat the thing.
Thanks for any advice!
