蘋果召回有問題的MacBook Air固態硬碟
蘋果於本周四（10/17）釋出2012年版的MacBook Air韌體更新，以解決其固態硬碟（flash storage drive）可能會遺失資料的問題，若更新韌體仍無法解決，蘋果則將免費替換MacBook Air中的硬碟。
根據蘋果的說明，出現問題的是去年推出的MacBook Air所使用的64GB與128GB的固態硬碟，這批產品在市場上銷售的時間為去年6月到今年6月，要判斷用戶的固態硬碟是否受到影響可先安裝MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1，該更新會測試用戶的硬體，若無法簡單利用韌體更新修補便會連結至置換網頁。
蘋果亦建議當用戶發現自己的MacBook Air使用了可能故障的硬碟後，不要再安裝任何的作業系統更新或程式，並立即備份硬碟上的資料。MacBook Air用戶可透過當地經蘋果授權的經銷商替換硬碟。
