[QUOTE="hamnickel, post: 1837694, member: 403641"] Just an update: I thought that by running the system via an external SSD connected with a SATA to USB 3.0 cable adapter would do the trick for me. I ordered the cable and today I used Carbon Copy to copy my HD to the SSD. I did some quick speed test with the external SSD using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and it was giving me around 450 MB/s on writing and reading. I changed my startup disk in System Settings to the SSD and rebooted. The system now is even worse running through the external SSD. I only had Chrome opened with 21 tabs when I restarted the system. The system started and it took 14 minutes just to stop the beachballing while loading Chrome. That was the only application opened. I tried to open Safari while Chrome was loading and it took five minutes for it to load. Apps in background and tabs on Chrome gets unresponsive all the time (when I right-click an app in the dock I see 'Application Not Responding'). That's bad news for me because I was putting all my hope in a bad HD. The problem seems to be deeper than that and I have no idea what to check or where to start. [/QUOTE]
