[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1583058, member: 56379"] Not usually. But the storage device in a brand new computer can fail…so it can fail in a mid-2012 computer s well. But then Applecare would replace it (if still has Applecare). Traditional spinning HD's are mechanical devices. And mechanical devices can fail at any time. A brand new HD out of the box can fail as well. But again…the warranty would replace it. This is why we should always have backups (never know when an HD or SSD will fail). Why do you ask? - Nick [/QUOTE]
