Bear in mind that this is a new HDD so you're not likely to see any benefit except initially.Good to see you are using TM and bootable backups are not to everybody's preference it's just you mentioned them in your OP.My question would be, were you doing any of this over the last 5.5 years because your machine needs regular maintenance (though not to the point of OCD)?A new HDD every 14 months is mind boggling however so I think that there is something else going on here. How do you use your machine and have you got a high res on that large external monitor? How hot is your GPU getting and why did you feel the need to stand the Mac on corks initially?</blockquote>
