[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1801727, member: 110816"] The 5400 RPM drive can't be all that it is causing this machine to operate so slowly. If that were the case, Apple would never include a 5400 drive in any iMac. However, based on the Etrecheck report, your disk read/write speeds are what I'd expect to see from a spinning media. The 7200 version would probably do about 8-10 MB/s more (so not a HUGE difference). However, your Nominal I/O speed of 0.24 MB/s is concerning when other reports I've seen show close to 24+ MB/s. This would indeed causing a delay in launching anything. Was the machine slow from day one when you bought it? [/QUOTE]
