Q: I got a Hardware Test Error 4HDD/30/40000005:SATA(0,0) in my iMac
I noticed about two or three weeks ago that my iMac was no longer running smoothly and then office stopped working (either word, excel or powerpoint would open). After few attempts, I finally fixed the Microsoft Office issue but in the process, I went to several forums and some people had a similar issue and suggested a hardware test (restarting my computer and pressing D) and after I ran the test I got Hardware Test Error 4HDD/30/40000005:SATA(0,0). After running this test mi iMac was very slow and even deleting files from finder was a burden.
Info:
iMac (2.1-inch, Late 2012)
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB ???
I would really appreciate your help !!
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
