... The drive died in July 2014 roughly 18 months from purchase... I also would like to point out that I think fusion is great despite the HDD drive failure...

... Since going all SSD the machine is cold to the touch. I think the heat killed the HDD. So backup often.

Wow!

That is a fine description of your FD failure! 18 months is a tough deal. Here is a disturbing coincidence donlab. I am about 18 months in with this 2012 i7 this month!

Thank you for this valuable and detailed account of your FD experience donlab.
