The 1TB HD of my late 2010 iMac 21" failed two days ago. This happened a day after noticing the SMART error in Disk Utility and months of significant lags overall. So I took it to my local authorized service provider and the guy there told me I would need to purchase a new HD (I had no AppleCare). It cost me $300 CAD.

When I get it back, I want to check if the actual new HD that I paid for is installed and not my old HD that was fixed somehow. Is there any way I could check this? Thx

Hard drives are cheap replaceable items.. repairing them is not practical.
it is Way way way cheaper to just replace the drive with a new one rather than fixing your old one. especially if they go through the effort of opening the computer.
