[QUOTE="pechnatunk, post: 1801081, member: 400606"] Hi, A while ago I updated to High Sierra because it was a requirement to then upgrade my hard drive to an Aura SSD 512. Since then I periodically get major "wig-outs" where music starts chopping and the mouse is very unresponsive and jumpy. It is usually fine after a reboot, but one thing I have noticed is also since then it takes about a full minute to get to the desktop - 36 secs after the chime to display the Apple logo then a progress bar until the user options appear at about the 52 sec mark. Previously it used to take - I'm guessing under 10 sec and the progress bar would only display after automatic updates or something. It's almost as if it is initially still searching for the old SSD. I have been through all of the steps in the stickies - Basic OS X troubleshhoting, SLowdown steps, macattorney etc. Still no different. At the end of the day - I'm not much of a power user and the glitches are pretty few and far between, and I don't power cycle my mac that often, but these quirks have me thinking my Mac is not running at it's optimum. Has anyone heard of this before and/or are there any other diagnostics/optimisations I can look at? TIA [/QUOTE]
