Old iMac Fusion drive failed after erasing it before trade in
I ordered a new iMac (M3) and planned to trade in my old 2019 iMac (fusion drive). After I used Recovery mode and erased the disc, I tried to reinstall the Mac OS but the system said the drive was faulty and needed to be replaced. Do I still send the old computer back but expect that I won't get the anticipated trade-in value? I tried disk repair. It said disk repair complete but it didn't change the message that the drive was faulty. I never had a problem with the Fusion drive before.
iMac 27″, macOS 15.0
