Q: EtreCheck results - slow 2012 Mini 10.11.3

Aside from the RAM being a little low I'm not sure what the problem could be. The actual memory usage is usually low on this machine and it was working fine for a while after upgrading to El Capitan, so I'd like to explore other possible solutions first.

 

EtreCheck version: 2.9.9 (260)

    Hmmm, after rerunning the pastebin script, it seems there still might be a disk issue, but can't seem to find which. Probably boot, but the device names don't seem to line up:

    Hello again plenhart,

    Only Linc Davis knows what his scripts do or what they mean. I can tell you that there is a known problem with large drives reporting "alignment errors" on El Capitan when they didn't in previous OS X versions. It may be false warning altogether. Doing a repair in Disk Utility wouldn't hurt.
