Default Apple Acknowledges Problem With MBP 7200rpm Drives

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-1...subj=News-Apple

"Owners of Apple MacBook Pro notebooks with 7200rpm 500GB hard drives have been complaining for months of clicking sounds followed by temporary stalling. According to Apple, a fix is in the works."

The problem has been happening in the 500GB drives that run at 7200rpm, with reports of a beep shortly before the hard drive clicks and the computer stops responding. There are several reports on the Apple forums that it is totally random with no correlation to a specific incident. According to Apple rep Bill Evans "We are aware of the issue and are working on a software update." Well half the battle is won by the acknowledgement, however they can't give a date for when the update will be available.
