[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1910476, member: 56379"] A 2015 MacBook Pro running High Sierra should certainly remain speedy...thus I would say there's no hardware issue outside of the internal storage. Do a fresh reboot of the computer...then Open Activity Monitor (don't open anything else)...click the "CPU" tab...and see if there are any process's that are eating up a lot of CPU resources. Also look to see if there's anything installed that you don't remember installing...such as "cleaner" or "anti-virus" apps. As far as the "wear leveling count". The wear level count on a new drive starts at 100%...and according to this article (below)...seems like when it hits 50% you should monitor things more closely: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cleverfiles.com/help/concept-wear-leveling-ssd.html[/URL] In addition to what's mentioned above...I would say try to off-load as much stuff off the SSD as you can. I'm sure there's plenty on there that isn't accessed regularly...and this is the stuff that's cluttering up the drive. Off-loading to an external drive is the way to go. HTH,:) Nick [/QUOTE]
