The drive in my Macbook Pro died again. This is the 256 GB SSD. It seems like it fills up to a certain point the becomes unreadable. I can restore it from my Time Machine backup once I get back to my office
Tuesday afternoon - Time Machine restore worked once again. It has been quite a while since the last time the drive "died". I deleted about 10 GB of stuff off of the drive and all seems to be fine once again. Fortunately, I didn't lose anything significant. Anything that I am actively working on I keep in DropBox so it is automatically pushed to "the cloud" to sync my other computers. I had suspected that I was going to start having problems due to the machines recent behavior. Normally, the boot process only takes about 12 seconds and lately, it has been over double that. I have had a couple of "grey screens" telling me to reboot but thought that that may have been caused by a memory leak in the 3.00 version of Aperture trial that I recently installed.

ReplyDeletespring has nearly sprung down here. It was great for you to visit with family and friends away from the cold white north.
I thought Mac books were reliable. Perhaps there is an upgrade to stop the memory overflow but what do I know, you are the computer Guru

MacBooks are pretty reliable. I have been experimenting with a solid state drive (I can't recommend this Super Talent 256 GB model) in place of the stock spinning drive. The SSD has had issues in the past.
ReplyDeleteDang! I got behind in blog reading and just now found out you were in Corvallis this weekend. I live 13 miles from there!! What a pity, but I know you were rushed.

I figured I was coming down again in July for a reunion in Portland, Da Vinci Days at OSU, and maybe even time for the BMW MOA rally in Redmond. I'm still trying to figure out a way to ride the bike down but that may not be in the cards.
