Out of warranty yonks ago, no AppleCare any more either....
Late 2013 iMac, 27 ret., 32gb ram, fusion disk from 128gb SSD, 3.0TB 3.5" HDD all built to order from Apple.
Been great until it started slowing down, dicked about with it for ages, narrowed it down to HDD. Split the fusion disk, installed to SSD only - flies.....
Formatted and mounted HDD as separate drive, all ok, formats and mounts no issue. But writes to it takes ages, like kb/s really slow. SMART says all ok (I know that's no real guide) but checks out as 100% fine with bootable disk utilities and Apple Diags - all 100%.
Just slow af.
So seems 3.0tb HDD is foobared, but it checks out 100%, odd.
Reported to Apple, they are helpful as usual even out of warranty, and I can probs get it fixed under EU fit for purpose rules, but before I do that I thought I'd ask here for stuff to try....
