S.M.A.R.T. Status failing
So my macbook pro non-retina 13'' mid 2012 has been stuttery and very laggy and I was going to completely wipe the computer and reinstall OSX, but decided to check the disk utility first and it's telling me
"This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired" and "S.M.A.R.T. Status failing"
I already backed everything up, but I was wondering if applecare would cover this problem? I bought my macbook in Nov. of 2014 so it's still less than a year and I'm considering buying it if it covers it.
If so, is this the correct one to purchase for my mbp?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
