Apple was aware these drives were defective as my first hard drive was replaced through one of their hard drive replacement programs. So here comes Google…Īfter doing some research, I found out that Segate’s 1TB, 2TB and 3TB Barracuda internal hard drives have a high annual failure rate. Also, I have never replaced an internal hard drive before. But which hard drive should I get? I sure would like to stay the hell away from another Seagate drive (the brand that came stock with my iMac and the same drive Apple used later as a replacement). I also can’t afford to be without a computer, my only option then, is to replace the hard drive myself. The truth is, I can’t afford to pay for expensive labor even less purchase a new computer. I guess they’re hoping that by labeling it vintage, I will spend another $1800 on a new computer. This time I was told my computer was now considered “vintage”, and they do not service it anymore. Well, not anymore…Īfter my hard drive died, the second one since purchasing my iMac in 2010, I made an appointment at my local Genius Bar to see if I could get it replaced. The spinning beach ball of death! You know something’s going on and sure enough, your computer dies and you find out you need a new hard drive! There used to be a time when buying an Apple computer meant having a working computer for many years. Your iMac is slow, frequently freezing over a short period of time.
