Problem with my iMac

[Webby.]

I noticed recently that my iMac was running a bit slow and so i thought i would give it a disk utility clean up and was met by this error message? Could anyway enlighten me on what this problem is and is it repairable as it does seem to be slowing my mac down quite a bit...

thanks

Sounds like your drive is on its way out, do you have Everything backed up?

I do not... would it be wise to do that now? To be honest i am a bit of a noob when it comes to mac hardware... is it as simple as replacing it? and if so how much would i would be looking at?

If your iMac is less than a year old Apple will replace the drive free of charge...

Hardrive is showing up SMART errors, and pretty bad ones, backup your data before you lose access to it completely!

In a normal computer iMac = screen glass off, bezel off, screen out, thermo sensor off then hard drive out.

Because Apple.

Yh lol not the easiest. I have a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro and the drive are changeable but they not standard so it's like £500 for a 500GB!!! Oh Apple

I really hope that's a ssd for that price Same with the old macbooks, to replace the keyboard it took about 20+ screws to get it out! And on the eMacs the motherboard was split in two halfs (above and below the CRT)

God Apple stuff is such a pain to work on!

Yh it's SSD but like I said its not a standard form factor drive its a little chip! Nightmare
