[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1254575, member: 56379"] Once you realized that this was an ongoing performance issue (rather than waiting 6+ months)...you could have posted here ASAP!:) We hear about this sort of problem all the time (beach-balls, apps taking forever to load, slow response to mouse clicks, etc.). Sure you would have gotten some initial advice to: - check the HD with disk utility - repair permissions - reformat & reinstall the OS - etc. But some of the suggestions would have been..."bad hard drive". In any case..congrats on figuring it out...too bad you didn't post sooner...maybe we could have saved a bunch of frustration.:) It's amazing how a faulty HD can slow down a super fast 8-core Mac Pro!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
