hey guys,
Well my 15" rMbp was replaced in the 14 days period due to apple hardware test giving an error code "4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0)" prior to performing that test finder would go unresponsive for a while, apps would lock up randomly and playing music would have skips or glitches. It had a sd512e drive as per online most guys faced issues on it. So my reseller replaced the laptop with another one and on checking this one to has the sd512e drive did a hardware test it passed it. 9 days later im listening to music and i get that same skips glitches missed beats apps like safari start hanging randomly.
I did the hardware test and it gave me the same darn error😡 as much as i hate formatting my hard drive after having all my pro softwares vsts sound libraries etc i did and bang still the same.
I need my laptop for sometime to complete finish my project. Im Just thoroughly annoyed. The only good thing is i have a samsung screen and with some calibration it looks perfect.
