    Apple Launches 27" iMac 3TB Hard Drive Replacement Program
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Friday June 19, 2015

    Apple has determined that a small number of 3TB hard drives
    used in late 2012 27-inch iMacs sold between December 2012
    and September 2013 may fail under certain conditions. The 
    company has initiated a replacement program to replace 
    affected hard drives free of charge through Apple or an 
    Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).

    Apple is contacting affected iMac owners that provided a 
    valid email address during product registration to inform 
    them about the new replacement program. iMac owners can 
    check if they are affected by entering the computer's serial
    number on Apple's support website, and visit the Genius Bar,
    locate an AASP or contact Apple Technical Support to 
    initiate the replacement process.

    Apple advises that customers who paid to have their hard 
    drive repaired contact the company for a refund. The 
    replacement program covers affected iMac models until 
    December 19, 2015, or three years from the affected iMac's 
    original date of sale, depending on whichever is longer. 
    Read about the iMac replacement program on Apple's support 
    website for further details.

Interesting. We have a late-2012 model that had a 1TB drive that failed. 
We had it replaced under AppleCare. I didn't know they were even 
shipping 3TB drives.

Bigger drives are often a custom-build option on the Apple Store. I'm
not sure when Apple started shipping 3TB drives, but obviously at least
December 2012.

The Late 2012 27" (which started shipping in December) was the first
iMac for which MacTracker mentions a 3 TB drive supplied by Apple.

The preceding Mid 2011 27-inch model had 2 TB as an option.
