I just bought a 2TB Studio LX external HD from the Mac store in fact. Ever since I started using it last week my imac is almost not usable its so slow. Almost every time I try to even move my mouse or click on something I get the pinwheel. I turned it off and things seem to be much better. Not sure why this would be as there are only about 600gb of files on it so far and Im using my firewire port. Ive ran my disk utility and done a disk repair and have used Onyx to try what I could think of. I even removed istat pro and symantec but the thing that helped the most was just turning the hd off. How can I use this new HD while still getting my imac to work?
Thanks
