consumerist.com — Two Apple customer service representatives told reader Mark that his MacBook's four hard drive crashes could be blamed on GarageBand, professional-grade software that his puny consumer-grade laptop 'couldn't handle.' Every MacBook comes with GarageBand pre-loaded as part of Apple's iLife suite.

I think a lot of people don't understand the difference between the hardware and the OS. Many people will throw away a perfectly good PC because it's riddled with viruses, when simply doing a fresh install of Windows (or better yet, replacing it with a decent Linux distro) would make it useful again.

Any program that puts a high amount of strain on a drive can screw up your hard drive. That's why it's always recommended that you record music / video onto a separate, external hard drive. I use Logic Pro 8 regularly on my MacBook, and have never had problems because I record onto a firewire Glyph drive. The problem is that Apple doesn't make this info readily available. They need to put a clear disclaimer on their audio and video apps strongly recommending that you do not use your primary drive for recording.

Arrived today, so far it works great. They overnighted it to me which was especially nice.
