Disk I/O performance (SSD and HDD) very slow
My 2012 MBP (13", 2.5Ghz i5, 8G RAM) has been sluggish for a few months (beachballs now and then, slow to open apps, slow on reboot, etc), going on since perhaps the Yosemite upgrade, but it was never too bad so I didn't worry about it. But it has been annoying so recently I started poking around and found that the disk I/O performance was pretty horrible on both the Corsair 128G SSD (root drive) and the original 500G HDD (secondary). Here's a sample XBench report from my SSD (the numbers from the HDD are similar):
Sequential
Uncached Write: 30.02 MB/s (4k blocks)
Uncached Write: 49.5 MB/s (256k blocks)
Uncached Read: 25.90 MB/s (4k blocks)
Uncached Read: 129.19 MB/s (256k blocks)
Random
Uncached Write: 7.20 MB/s (4k blocks)
Uncached Write: 36.78 MB/s (256k blocks)
Uncached Read: 13.26 MB/s (4k blocks)
Uncached Read: 112.85 MB/s (256k blocks)
This performance has been also measured by Blackmagic and dd's from the command line. I've run through the litany of things to do for good disk health- Repair disk, Fix Permission, turned off FileVault, reset NVRAM/SMC, reinstalled Yosemite. SafeBoot, fsck, you name it...all with no results. There are no disk I/O errors in the console from either disk. All tests were done will all other apps closed and the machine idle. I ran the script Linc Davis has posted in a few other posts and the output is below.
Any ideas about what I should do next to try to figure out what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
