[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1575158, member: 46727"] The cost to swap out a hard drive in a 21.5" iMac will run about $275 - $300 depending on your location and the size of the drive. The same swap out for the 27" machine will likely be more. There is certainly no problem with backing up using Time Machine. As a matter of fact we highly recommend that you do just that on a regular basis. Having a clone of your internal hard drive is convenient if it should fail. I have had this happen to me and by having the clone I was able to boot and continue my work. Otherwise, I would have missed a cut off date or resorted to finishing my work on an iPad. If you've ever tried to edit a long document or put together a briefing on an iPad, it's quite a challenge - especially for a dinosaur like myself. ;) [/QUOTE]
