Hi, I see you're having issues with your 2017 iMac running Catalina. The hard drive failure and SSD replacement seem to be the main concerns. USB ports are functioning outside of macOS, which is good—you can use other tools like Windows or diagnostic software. However, once you boot into the system, they don’t appear to work. Have you tried checking the SSD health with any third-party diagnostics? Also, ensure the ports are properly seated and powered correctly.
