Hello!
Been a long time lurker... First post
I just installed a Seagate Momentux XT in my MBP (13"/2010 - 2 weeks old).
Now...
When I placed it in, OSX didn't see it, I open disk utility (off OSX boot dvd), when to format to HFS. Failed. Dead.
S.M.A.R.T failing, this drive can not be used/repaired blah blah...
Then, reinstalling the original 250GB, I placed the XT into a usb case.
Wrote Zero's to it and tried to format it to journaled case sensitive. 3 hours later, it was finished with zeroing, then FAILED after it said 'mounting' (somewhere in the format part), then OSX would not see it.
I went to bed (fuming), got up, start again. USB and format to HFS.
Worked.
Installed the hdd into MBP, installed OSX (no backups/clones).
It's "working" (using that word loosely), when I open disk util, it still says SMART failing blah blah.
When I verify disk permissions - I had a hell of a lot of errors. I fixed them.
Did it again and I constantly keep getting the same errors.
I can repair, then I click verify and they're back AGAIN.
This drive was SD23, I upgraded it to SD24 right away. Went perfectly.
I purchased this drive from eBay, so a return is not really an option
Also- this could be a HDD issue too - I have no keyboard backlights now! When I press the key (f6) I get the not there sign. FFS!
Specs:
2.4ghz c2d
8GB Ram (corsair)
stock.
Errors:
