Hi All,
A few days ago i was about to install Windows 7 through BootCamp onto my 1TB Segate + Fusion drive, while BootCamp was partitioning the new Windows 7 volume i noticed 30 minutes later it still was trying to partition it (which is not normal, should take a couple of minutes). Than i tired to stop the process to see what is wrong (reboot the machine a few times), checked the disk again and saw that the amount of size i was about to use for Win 7 was not given back to my Mac HD (strange, as there was no actual partition in place). I thought to my self, why not check for disk issues and found that the disk is damaged and could not be repair, only by deleting it (so i did) and reinstalled OS X (which failed because of a bad disk).
I HATE FREAKING SEGATE DISKS!!!
Called Apple and they will replace my machine (lucky me i was in the 14 days warranty), and i asked the Apple girl to please request an iMAC with WD disk this time (she cant do that), freak!!!
1. Did anyone had a bad HD on the new late 2012 iMAC's? and if so, was that SEGATE?
2. Why oh why Apple uses such bad freaking disks as Segate? this is a high end computer, the components should be the best in the market.
