Apple OSNews featured two reviews of the new 12" Powerbook from Apple last month. Using a machine and more fairly evaluating it, is a continuous process, so when new facts emerge, we should be reporting them back. So, what I discovered this weekend is that my 12" Powerbook doesn't like... the mountains. Read on, it is an interesting issue. Update: The issue is now logged at Apple's tech support db.

Shouldn't freeze OS X

Assuming this is your disk, it shouldn't freeze OS X even if a read or write request takes a long time. DMA was invented to overcome this problem. So, either OS X has a bug or you have more problems than just the disk (or maybe not the disk at all).
