There had been complaints online about MacBook hard drive problems. It seems that these complaints are not isolated incidents. There is a manufacturing flaw in the Seagate MacBook hard drive. The result may be that the hard drive data may be compromised permanently:
“A Seagate Technology hard drive sold with Apple MacBooks has a critical manufacturing flaw that often results in the permanent loss of data, a data recovery firm reported Monday.
Retrodata said the problem is confined to Seagate 2.5-inch drives manufactured in China with a firmware revision of 7.01. The drives use a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) interface.”

If your MacBook has this Seagate drive, back up your data and contact Apple about having this drive replaced. Consider this hard drive problem as extremely severe.

Seagate has Data Recovery services. Isn’t it a time for Seagate take responsibility for quality of hard drives and offer data recovery for free.
Data Recovery from Seagate costs around $1800. They made huge profit from any failed hard drive. Situation looks like: more bad hard drives - more profit for Seagate.
