It doesn’t beep at all, but it does temporarily lock up. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my own MacBook Pro is plagued by this glitch as well.

Many users report beeping and clicking sounds, followed by 10-30 second freezes where the computer is unresponsive to input. The difficulties I’m referring to, for those who haven’t already heard, consist of the Seagate Momentus 7200.4 hard drives Apple uses in the MacBook Pro locking up the entire system. I read about the difficulties people have been experiencing with their 500GB 7200rpm hard drives and figured I would try to save myself the headache by just getting a 320GB 7200rpm drive instead. Apple’s still working on an official solution, but there is a way to fix these issues now.Ī little over a week ago I ordered a brand new 2.8GHz 15″ MacBook Pro from Apple’s online store. Owners of Apple’s new unibody MacBook Pro notebooks with 7200rpm hard drives are suffering widespread problems such as beeping, clicking, and freezing.
