[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1803504, member: 46727"] Those warnings by DriveDx are typical for a spinning hard drive that's been in use for several years or more. My 2013 27" iMac which I no longer have, displayed similar warnings for two years but the hard drive kept working well. Of course I kept up with backups all during that time. That same iMac was given to my son who has been using it for the last year without any problems. The bottom line is should you be concerned? Yes. Backup, backup. :) [/QUOTE]
