MacBook Pro 2012 – Lagging and slow boot-up

hard drivehardwaremacbook pro

I've left my Macbook pro to sleep with a lot of programs and memory used (probably lot of swap used as well)

And when I've waken it up, it started to have 60 s lags then 5-10 seconds of responsiveness and again 60s lag (with death beach ball)

When I boot up it takes 30 seconds and around 120 seconds to login. (Earlier it was like 20 s for everything)

The craziest part is that when I turn on the Black magic benchmark test of the hard disk drive – I have Samsung 840 evo with 250GB – it goes without lag… System is not so fast but it goes on without lag.

When o boot to Windows it lags as well (almost without time for responsiveness)

Is this disk problem ?

The video show it all (skip too the moments when something is changing)

Thank you very much in advance.

EDIT:

Interesting info: I've erased this disk, installed via USB SATA connector the Mac os x 10.9.

Then booted. From USB, NO PROBLEM!

Then mounted it to the SATA connector in the Macbook itself. And the same problem … Of 5 minutes boot up time and extremely laggy Mac.

Maybe the problem is in the firmware of Mac itself ?

Best Answer

disk seems fine, as your tests indicate. first, best chance:

have you done a safeboot to clear out some caches and repair the hard drive? shift key down at boot up. then when it comes up, do a regular reboot.
