[QUOTE="krs, post: 1833289, member: 67742"] That's what I was concerned about - that's why I ran DriveDX, but it showed no issues. Just timed DU again for various options, again time from start of DU searching until the window with the drives comes up: 1. Internal drive only; externals are still physically connected but not mounted - 15 seconds 2. Internal + 2.5" USB external with 4 partitions including one APFS - 34 seconds 3. Internal + 3.5 FW800 with two partitions - 15 seconds All probably OK - just a bit odd since regular use of the Mini is quite snappy, both opening apps and connection to the net. I tried another 2 TB USB 3.0 external with four partitions on it with ElCapitan backups - it along with the internal took 11 seconds to show in DU. Seems to me that APFS is slowing things down, maybe because ElCapitan doesn't know what format that partition is or how to read, it takes a bit longer before ElCap decides to ignore it. [/QUOTE]
