Q: Slow system!!! Lots of pinwheeling! EtreCheck attached
In the last 6 months my iMac performance has completely tanked.
In that time, I have had to replace the internal hard dive (done at Apple store with supported drive) and have upgraded to 10.10.
I have installed Memory Clean to see if I can identify the source of my issues. It has been interesting to watch how quickly the system eats of the available memory (16GB)
Also, since the hard drive replacement the machine is noisier than it was before. You can hear the drive thrashing...maybe that is just a characteristic of this particular drive or not.
I have installed and run EtreCheck in hopes of getting some answers from the Community.
Problem description:
Mac slow…pinwheeling all the time.
