I think this is the nail in the coffin for my MacBook’s Seagate hard drive. Last night I woke up my laptop to finish my Windows Programming mid-term and OS X froze hard. After a hard reset it crashed again, and then I resorted to Disk Utility which told me my volume couldn’t be repaired. Again. This happened a couple of weeks ago, too, so I think there’s something a bit goofy with my hard drive. I shouldn’t have to be reformatting my hard drive twice a month.

This afternoon I’m taking it to Database Systems and putting it in their Apple Certified repair shop so they can take a look at it. It’s still under AppleCare, and I actually have backups of all my data this time, so it’s not so bad (plus, fall break starts for me in about 45 minutes, so at least it’s not in the middle of an extremely busy week). I just wish hard drives (laptop ones in particular) were engineered to not fail so often (1 in 20 in the first 3 years, I hear is the statistic). When you think about it, that’s a shit ton of hard drives.
