[QUOTE="greygloss, post: 1449090, member: 115895"] i'm also having concerns over mac's quality control with their harddrives, i see that mid 2011 seagate 1tb drives were recalled. I have a late 2010 21.5 imac and just had the disk utility telling me i have SMART failing in the harddrive - my old powerpc G5 is still going strong, and this newer model cant even last 2 years - poor performance for Apple! i have googled my particular model and it looks like there are a lot of complaints out there. It only happened after upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion - coincidence probably. I have spoken to a qualified apple repair place and they did tell me - as per chscag - that the heat sensor is the bug bear if you try and replace the drive yourself, and they have to do a little "work-around" to avoid the fan issues. 1.5hrs of labour plus the replacement drive......i'm a little miffed to say the least.
