As those who are plagued with this problem know, there have been a subset of unibody MacBook Pros that have intermittent hard drive stalls/beach balls with drives that are 500 GB or larger.

I am very happy to announce that the EFI 1.8 update just released has eliminated the problem for me. It has been two days and I have not had a single beach ball, whereas I would get 7-10 per day before.

I would encourage those having the problem to get the update, hopefully it works for you too!
