Oh, yeah, that'll help the situation out...

Let me guess - Seagate 500.

There have been scattered reports on this and we've seen a bit - I suspect is was a batch issue.
Seagate drives were backordered heavily there for a few weeks now back in full supply.
We've seen nothing recent but of course there are still drives in stockpiles especially at Apple.

Glad you were backed up.

We tought about switching supply to WD but nothing further has popped up and WDs run hot.
Samsungs have been great but nothing bigger than a 400 ( beautifully built tho ).
Anyone with a big Seagate keep an ear out but I suspect it is low incidence and your repeat situation says Apple may have a bad batch.

Wheee, they exchanged the hard drive on the spot and sent me on my merry way. At home, I got two surprises:

1) I noticed they scratched up one side of the Mac Pro's case

2) The replacement hard drive also chirps

Fun, fun. So where's the smiley for a nervous breakdown?!
