8.9" Acer Aspire One has HD flaw, distaste for U2?




From Engadget -

Based on a Hardware Cult forum thread, 8.9" Aspire One owners are discovering that, believe it or not, their hard drives get trashed when they play music full blast through the AAO's speakers. As weird as it sounds, the problem affects only standard hard drives, not SSDs, and it occurs whenever the right speaker causes enough vibration and / or magnetic interference to cause the drive to malfunction. Interestingly, the problem was first discovered by someone played U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" at max volume. The problem has since been consistently reproduced by playing that particular song.
