[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1703959, member: 46727"] Just a bit of info for you... Seagate drives (especially the larger ones) have got the highest failure rates of any of the popular drives that are available. I refuse to buy one, however, your 2013 iMac very likely has an internal Seagate drive installed by Apple (unless you opted for a SSD instead). If at all possible, return the Seagate and purchase another brand of the same capacity. I know you said that the same drive works with two other Macs but you have already swapped it out for another and have the same problem. Seagate drives are just flakey in my opinion. Unfortunately, I too own a 2013 27" iMac with an internal Seagate drive installed. Which is why I make daily backups using CCC and Time Machine. By the way, GUID is automatic with the new Disk Utility in El Capitan. And since this thread is rather old, you may not get a response from the original poster. [/QUOTE]
