Let me stress you more. I use a mid-2010 iMac as a daily driver. It still uses the original spinning disk hardware with more than 77000 Power_On_Hours. SMART says Old_age.

I like living dangerously.

What worries me is that you purchased a premium computer from Apple when everyone recommended not to buy it because its obsolete low-end hard drive crippled it.

And you didn’t consider making it a magnitude faster for a fraction of its price.

I’m sure you can find a fridge with better IO performance.
