I'd say the internal drive is having problems. When macos gets errors when reading data, it tries to reread. This takes longer. I assume this is happening. You could boot up in recovery mode command + r. Try running disk utility on the failed drive.
Does you machine boot up successfully in recovery mode.
You could contact macsales.com and buy an external drive. Ask them what drive is best. I upgraded to an external SSD. My system flies now.
