Nice!!If you're going to keep using the internal drive I'd suggest you use Disk Utility to do a nuke & pave on it:Erase it completely and make sure the correct Mac format is selected and don't forget to use the optional one-pass secure erase or zero-out option which will also map out any bad sectors and prevent them from being used.But the purchase of a new replaceable drive is always a good idea.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
