845PE - IDE drives incredibly slow
Hi - recently got the 845PE BFIR board.
I'm using 3 fast drives.
I finally got Win2K installed and running, worked out how to attach drives to RAID as individual drives (THANKS maesus!!), got my 4600 running fine, etc etc.
BUT - the hard disk are incredibly slow! We're talking about 2MB/s here - I mean SLOW.
This is the case regardless of how many drives are attached,in which order, to which controller, together or alone.
I jumper/cable them as Master or Slave, never cable select - as I always have down in other machines (where these drives are very fast, by the way.)
I have installed:
Win2K, no SPs yet
Latest Intel INF, Nov 02
Latest BIOS 1.2 (flash successful)
Intel P4 2,533 GHz @ 533
1 GB Samsung DDR 333
PNY GF4600
2 x IBM 180GXP 180 GB
1 x Seagate Barra 4 80 GB
Pioneer DVD
No PCI cards
USB, Audio, FW are disabled as yet.
The problem is the same whether or not I have the RAID BIOS on or off.
Also, same regardless of whether or not the DVD is connected.
SMART on or off doesn't affect either.
Everything works, it's just.... the disks are soooo slow.
A file transfer of 100MB that takes 5 secs on my old machine, takes 50 on the new one!!
Even Partition Magic 7 works, but slooooow.
I don't get it??
I finally, finally worked it out.....
It's not the mobo's fault.
Quick note: very large HDDs, Win2K, problem not apparent in Win98.
It was the Intel INF utility not loading correctly over Win2K - even though I installed it several times, it updated/replaced all the relevant chipset drivers etc - except for 2. And those were the drivers for the individual IDE controller channels.
So the driver for the dual Ultra ATA controller 82801D or whatever it's called, was updated OK, but the individual drivers for Controller 1 and 2 were not replaced, so there the original default Microsoft drivers from 1999, from the Win2K CD, were still installed.
It seems they were unable to understand the large drives and ran them in PIO mode, refused to allow Ultra DMA mode. That's why the drives ran so slow. 2MB/s !
I deleted the 2 drivers manually and then the system automatically replaced them with the Intel INF drivers.
Problem solved!
Phew......

Hi guys,
We're noticing that Adobe Drive CC installed on a freshly-installed Windows 7 64bit workstation with 8GB of RAM connecting to an also freshly-installed Alfresco 4.2.f-3 64bit server with 8GB of RAM is incredibly slow.
Both test boxes have SSD hard drives that are capable of roughly 500MB/s R/W. We have set the drive cache to 1GB, turned off folder previews in Windows, turned off file-size calculations.
Still, folder enumeration for even blank folders, on the same local network (ping <1ms), takes about 3 seconds. Right click operations suffer roughly the same fate.
URL we are connecting to: http://alfresco/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/atomHi LawrenceHare-
Is the drive doing anything else except this file copying routine? Is it still dishing out files at the same time?
Have you checked with the manufacturer of the Drobo to see what the published specifications are for such a task?

Incredibly slow MacBook, Internal Hard Drive issues...
Good morning everybody! I'm apologize if this post is extremely wordy...
I am extremely baffled by a particular issue with a MacBook 2.0GHz C2D which belongs to a friend of mine. The warranty is expired.
_Brief history:_
Several months ago, this MacBook could not find a bootable volume. The drive would not mount when booting from an external FireWire hard drive. It would not mount when the MacBook was put in Target Disk Mode and connected to another Mac. When booting from an external USB hard drive or with my MacBook Pro connected to the MacBook via Target Disk Mode, the MacBook booted up quickly. I came to the conclusion that the internal hard drive must have failed and needed to be replaced. Ultimately, the data was not recoverable from this drive.
I then proceeded to swap out the defective Apple OEM Seagate hard drive with a known working Apple OEM Fujitsu hard drive. When booting from the Leopard Install DVD, the MacBook would boot incredibly slow, but would finally reach the Installer Language screen. When proceeding to install Leopard, the drive would take a very long time to have data written to it, and ultimately the install failed. I removed the new hard drive from the MacBook and placed it in an external USB enclosure, attached it to the MacBook and booted from the Leopard Install DVD. Leopard would install successfully. I removed the hard drive from the enclosure and reinstalled it the MacBook. When booting from the freshly installed OS, the MacBook would take a very long time to boot. The MacBook is extremely slow!!!
I checked the Activity Monitor to ensure CPU & System Memory Usage was not going crazy. All Processes where normal with adequate CPU & Memory headroom.
I took the MacBook apart thinking that the SATA Controller Cable might be loose. No, it was firmly in place. I reassembled the MacBook and booted it up again. Still incredibly slow!
Finally, after several reboot attempts, the MacBook would book up quickly and operation was perfect. I applied all updates and continued testing the MacBook with great success. Gave my friend his MacBook back and he was grateful.
_Now for the kicker..._
My friend brought me his MacBook a week ago complaining that the MacBook was operating extremely slow (much like when I was initially testing it before). I verified the MacBook was slow when I tried using it. I tried several reboots and then it would get stuck on the gray Apple with spinning gear.
I tried booting into Single User Mode, but it gets stuck on "Waiting for root device"
I put the MacBook in Target Disk Mode and connected it to my G5 2.0GHz Dual Core. The hard drive would mount quickly on the G5 and I used Disk Utility to create a Restore Image. The disk operation would perform normally and the image would be created successfully.
I then partitioned the MacBook's hard drive when connected to the G5, ejected and proceeded to attempt OS reinstall. No dice! The hard drive is not even detected by the Disk Utility on the Leopard Install DVD.
Finally after several reattempts, the hard drive is recognized, but is extremely slow when trying to reinstall...and again, ultimately install fails. Using Disk Utility from Leopard Install DVD, the hard drive fails to unmount when I try formatting.
I don't have Apple Hardware Test disc for the MacBook or Apple Service Diagnostics disc for this model. Running TechTool Pro shows hardware to be okay, disk controller onboard the Fujitsu drive is okay, but running SMART & Surface Scan takes a long, long time (which I'm certain will ultimately error out). Running Drive Genius takes a long, long time as well.
Conclusion:
I think the SATA Controller Cable is defective. I can't think of anything else that would cause disk errors or performance issues like this. Your input is truly appreciated!Even though no one responded to my post, I thought I'd share the resolution with the entire Apple community. I hope this information will be helpful to some of you with MacBooks or MacBook Pros that may be running painfully slow or may be exhibiting hard drive issues because your machine won't recognize the boot drive or fails to properly boot on a perfectly healthy S.M.A.R.T. verified hard drive. It just might be the hard drive connector/cable. Here it goes...
I visited my local Apple Retail Store and asked a "Genius" at the Genius Bar about this issue and told him my thoughts about a possible failed hard drive connector/cable. First, he didn't even know what a hard drive connector was! Then, he arrogantly stated that he never heard of such a thing and that these cables never fail. Finally, he blatantly dispelled this as a possibility.
On the contrary with my experience, I have had many failed PATA controller cables that required replacement when supporting the desktop PC's at work. I have personally owned and supported many Apple manufactured laptops and desktops and have never encountered this issue on a Mac...until this MacBook!
So, after looking at the Service Manual for the MacBook, I went over to my local Apple Authorized Service Provider and purchased the Hard Drive Connector Apple Part #922-7579. I replaced the original cable, reassembled and proceeded to boot the MacBook with the Leopard DVD installer. The Fujitsu drive was immediately recognized and was able to be formatted and Leopard installed without incident. The MacBook boots off the internal hard drive as normal again and works nice and fast again.
Thank you all for your time!

17" i7 MacBook Pro incredibly slow
My i7 macbook Pro has become incredibly slow. Boot time is well over 3 minutes, bringing up a program (such as Microsoft Word or Pages) takes upto 2 additional minutes. When I look at the activity monitor, it does not appear that the machine is CPU bound--- CPU sits there at about 10-20% utilization at the most. I have a 7200 RPM drive, but it almost looks like it takes a long time to load. I have tried many programs: Disk optimization, DIsk Warrior, Clean my Mac, Mac Keeper.... so I have dedragmented my disk, cleaned all the caches, got rid of temp files, and done basically everything I can do. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong? I do not have many programs that I run regularly;; Mainly Safair, Chrome, Microsoft Office, iWork, and Mail. The vintage of the machine is June 2010. MacKeeper is saying my machine is at optimized. I have also removed virtualy all the programs that I had at startup including Growl, Flip4Mac. I have also cleaned my desktop.
Ideas will be appreciated. I am now spending more time on my MacBook Air which is blazingly fast, but I am constrained by the small hard drive and the small screen.
Thanks,
Paul

Says it all right there. Uninstall this P.O.S. software if you can, they don't provide a method neither.
The Mac based Internet wants to crucify these jerks. It's as bad as MacDefender.
Download the free Easy Find here, it allows more deeper of a search than Spotlight, even invisible files. Seek and destroy MacKeeper.
http://www.devon-technologies.com/download/index.html
When you first boot your machine and you have no programs open, look for a process that consuming a lot of CPU, it's likely your culprit, you can force quit it.
Look at your System Preferences > Accounts > log-in items for anything your not using and click the "-" to stop it being a log in item.
OnyX will deep system clean a Mac, do ALL the cleaning and maintenance tasks and reboot, it will do it without installing or running anything afterwards, unlike those other programs.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
What I suspect is your caches are thrown off by the defrag. Do the OnyX and remove MacKeeper, I think you'll be a happy camper after that.
When you reboot, there should be hardly anything running, your CPU usage should nearly zero.
If all this fails, your looking at backing up your data. Hold c and booting off the installer disk that comes with your computer and using Disk Utility to Erase, format HFS+ Journaled and reinstalling OS X. Programs from fresh sources and files from backup.
Next time Carbon Copy Cloner your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold option bootable and you can recover/repair, run the computer off the clone or reverse clone if need be. -
My WD elements external hard drive has slowed down so much since upgrading - PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I am in external hard drive **** - someone please help!
I use my external hard drive as my music drive, and since upgrading to mountain lion something has gone wrong, and I have no idea what.
Basically it is incredibly slow at everything - appearing in finder, showing its contents, and copying from or to it. This is a problem that has only happened since my upgrade. I have tried to verify and repair it, but each time this happens it simply tells me every thing is OK! The only message I get is
'Updating boot support partitions as required.'
But this happens each time! I have no idea what this means (i am happy in my ignorance about computers most of the time)
I dont think that there is a problem with my hard drive, because I have seen the speed of my USB memory stick reduce in this time too, and if I leave it connected for long enough, it eventually finds all my files and folders and I can use them just fine. Its as if my USB ports speeds have all degraded very fast, for no particular reason. It has to be something to do with mountain lion...
Anyway, any ideas guys and gals? Please help me!Basically I thought that mackeeper would keep everything nice and clean...
That's what the con-artist developer wants you to think, and it's the exact opposite of the truth.
How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most users don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Mac notebooks that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
Use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “deleting log files,” “scanning for viruses,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for maintenance.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it. -
Early 2011 MacBook Pro incredibly slow after installing Mavericks
I'm really hoping someone can help me out. As per the subject line, I installed Mavericks on day one (and learned my lesson!).
Since installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs incredibly slow. If I open the Mail App and Safari - it almost grinds to a halt. I have the "Memory Clean" App which I now have to run constantly (it appears to help a little) and I try to only launch one app at a time where possible, but it's not really pratical.
As an aside, my MacBook ran really well with Mountain Lion, so there's little doubt to my mind that Mavericks is the culprit.
I'd be eternally grateful for any help & advice :-)
I spotted other people advise running EtreCheck, here are my results:

CleanMyMac is crapware.
Crapware is anything that purports to "optimize", "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. These apps are unnecessary, poorly written, overpriced (if they were free, they'd still be overpriced), and harmful. The people who sell this stuff know this, but they keep selling it because people keep buying it. They can damage your OS and be difficult to uninstall.
I would try to uninstall it, but if that fails, you may have to erase your HD and do a clean install. -

IDE drives not recognized by K8N Neo 2 Bios: Revisited
I am truely reaching my wits end with this problem and I'm beginning to believe that I'm not alone in dealing with this issue. Let me recap. After building my new system around the K8N Neo 2 m.b. and a AMD Athlon 64 3200 939, (Winchester) cpu I booted for the first time only to find that none of my hdds were recognized. Optical drives yes but not my two Maxtor IDE drives. Initially no variation in configuration would get the board to recognize my hdds but then suddenly, for no apparent reason my hdds were recognized but try as I may I cannot install another hdd as a slave on IDE channel 1. If I attempt this the master drive no longer is recognized. An optical as slave yes but not a hdd. Keep in mind I am no novice although this is the first MSI board I have purchased. I have checked the cables, (all good), made certain that the jumpers were set correctly and have tested the drives in my other system and they are good to go. I even flashed my bios in the hope that ultimately it would make a difference. Since I had a working system and nothing seemed to be helping I decided to let it rest for a week. However, this weekend while installing a program that required reboot I discovered that the system was slow and it turns out that one of my drives had disappeared to XP. Rebooting, I discovered that the drive was not detected by the bios during the reboot, that is until I turned off the system altogether and did a cold boot. It worked.
I would just write it off as a defective m.b. if it wasn't for the fact that it has continued to recognize optical drives in all configurations. Can anyone offer any insight into this problem? This really makes no sense to me and I'm the type of person who wants to understand.Quote from: Supershanks on 14-June-05, 05:49:23
How are your hard drives if you have no opticals connected.
HD are definately in IDE1 ??
Makes no difference; with the opticals taken out no drives were detected. Install the opticals on either channel without hdd's and they were detected. Like I wrote, finally the board was able to detect hdds but put another hdd on the same channel and poof, neither were detected. Neither channel appears able to accept more than 1 hdd period. Right now I have 1 hdd, (boot drive) on channel 1 and a secondary hdd and an optical on channel 2. It works but what disturbed me was the fact that during a reboot this weekend my hdd on the 2nd channel was not recognized and continued to be not recognized until I did a cold boot. This situation makes my head ache Bad IDE controller? Bad BIOS? Weird IDE cable problem? Bad PS? -
Both of my external drives have been copying at a snail's pace. My computer hasn't shown any other issues.
Both manually uploading files and the automatic Time Machine backups both take forever. They appear to be copying, but at an incredibly slow rate (20mb / hour). In fact, Time Machine hasn't been able to complete a backup since I erased/reformatted the drive last week. I've tried excluding Time Machine from Spotlight indexing.
Please let me know if you need more information. Any guidance would be much appreciated! My rig details are below:

When doing the same to a SanDisk 16GB USB 2 flash drive I get around 2.4 MB/sec - about 3 times faster than the USB 3 Magnum drive...
I am in the process of setting up a Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition on the internal SSD. When finished I will test the same under Windows to see if it's better or worse. -

I'm running CS5 on an iMac 27" (Intel Core i5 2.66 GHz, 8GB RAM, 7200RPM drive) and it is incredibly slow, especially when bringing in objects from Illustrator (smart objects) and resizing them. I'm working on a docuement that is only 50MB in size and it's crawling. I end up having to rasterize the object just so I can scale it which kind of defeats the purpose.
One thing I noticed is that PS isn't utilizing all the cores. For that matter, neither is Illustrator. I don't have any issues with CS4 so I'm wondering what's up with CS5 or if it's some kind of compatibility thing with 10.6.4 and CS5. Whatever it is, it's annoying.
AnthonyOk, then the remaining problems we know about are related to OS bugs with fonts.
The OS can sometimes corrupt it's font cache, and give bad info for fonts, which causes a number of slowdown issues (and crashes).
Validating fonts in FontBook is the first step.
Then flushing the OS font cache (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84363.html ). -
My computer is INCREDIBLY slow after Yosemite install
I recently installed the latest operating system Yosemite for my Apple Mac Pro and ever since it has been installed, my computer has been INCREDIBLY slow! Everything from starting up to applications opening to the **** internet! I'm ready to punch my fist into my **** monitor, even though I know it's not my monitor's fault. lol. Macworld has published an article (http://www.macworld.com/article/2837811/bugs-and-fixes-solving-a-yosemite-post-i nstall-disaster.html) about this along with the problem they think is causing it but I checked and the file in question doesn't exist on my computer. I don't want to go through the last step that is mentioned which involves downloading Yosemite onto an external hard drive and then installing from there. That step would also involve manually searching for files that might be causing the issue.
So, has anyone else experienced their computers running REAL slow after the update and did you figure out a simple solution?Activity Monitor - Mavericks also Yosemite

Mac desktop running incredibly slow.
Hi I have a 2010 Imac which is running incredibly slow!
3.06 GHz processor, 4GB memory running OS X Yosemite
I was hoping someone could please help me get to the bottom of what is wrong with it - i did wonder does it need a new hard drive? The original hard drive was replaced by Apple under warranty in summer 2013.
It was running really slow and then last week I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 which seemed to give it a new lease of life. however yesterday there was a power cut and since I have restarted it it is taking forever to do the smallest task. It takes about a minute to open up mail and then you have to wait around 30 secs to see the messages, then wait even longer to click and write.
Having looked up common faults I have tried looking at the utilities section but there is nothing showing a high percentage and I really don't know what else to do?
I have done an Etrecheck as recommended by support and have attached it below:
Can anyone advise why it is going so slow and what do all the red bits on the etre check results actually mean?
Many Thanks
Catriona

Samsung 840 Evo incredibly slow in MacBook Pro 2011
I just got a brand new 250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD and put it in my MacBook Pro. The drive is incredibly slow. OS X install took hours, and it takes over a minute to boot up. Even small tasks like clicking a button take several seconds to process. I have enabled TRIM through terminal (which took about an hour) and still no better. Is this something that can be fix or should I get an RMA# from NewEgg?
jeffturner24,
older firmware revisions of the 840 EVO are known to be problematic on Macs. You can download the latest firmware package for it (and an instructional PDF) from this Samsung page; with this package, you can burn a bootable DVD from which the latest firmware revision can be installed.
Another possibility is that you might have a faulty internal SATA cable. If you connect your SSD externally and boot from it then, and it runs at normal SSD speeds, but it remains incredibly slow when booting from it internally, that could point to a problem with your internal SATA cable. (Hard disks are more tolerant of a faulty internal SATA cable than SSDs are.)
If neither step above resolves the issue, then you should arrange an exchange with Newegg.
