[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1837446, member: 46727"] Harry is likely spot on. The 2017 iMac 21.5" models use a slow 5400 RPM drive unless they have a Fusion drive installed instead. But even at that, they're slow. Also, the description he gave may indicate a failing hard drive. Removing it and replacing it with an SSD should vastly improve speed. Edit: Just watched the video and it's beach balling with just about every movement of the cursor. Does look like a failing hard drive to me. [/QUOTE]
