Important Apple iMac Hard Drive recall information

Thanks to Jeff Janning for alerting me about this.

“Apple has determined that certain Seagate 1TB hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011.

Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) will replace affected hard drives free of charge.

Apple is contacting affected iMac owners who provided a valid email address during the product registration process to let them know about this program. If you have not been contacted, but think you have a 1TB Seagate hard drive, you can enter your serial number below to see if it's part of this program.”

Click here to go to the Apple Web page concerning possible bad 1 TB hard drives. It will tell you how to find your serial number.

Thank you again, Jeff, for alerting us to this problem.
