Q: Mac keeps freezing after Mavericks 1.9.2 clean install

hey there guys, I formated all my Macbook Pros 15'' late 2011 HD and reinstalled Mavericks 10.9.2 from a Recovery HD (twice) and after some time it starts to freeze - dock freezes, icons are not bouncing, when I try to close program it freezes etc. Restart didnt help, checked HD for errors, all fine. What could be the problem?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    Are you referring to a Mac Pro or a Macbook Pro? I'm pretty sure a Mac Pro uses 3.5" drives, doesn't it?

    That would be the Icybox, instead of the 2.5" enclosure I earlier mentioned.

    SMART monitoring, which is what driveDX checks, is just SMART monitoring software. One of the problems with SMART software is that it can predict "impending doom" on a drive and the drive may last for years. In the case of the drive that was in the system, it shouldn't surprise anyone that it failed a SMART test, it was failing surface scans as well. It needs to go. As for the drive in the Mac Pro, I wouldn't replace it yet or just based on a SMART test, just keep good backups.

    You are a bit behind ZV.

    Your link is the one I provided.

    All those are using smart data. But those that are monitoring all the time are those that you have to avoid. And the others are all different windows on the same data. Also DriveDx that is the newest one and the one that has more analysis built in. I would not have it run all the time, but for an occasional check it is a good one.

    Lex.
