Is here anyone who can help me understand why I have too high disk activity (SSD)? My MacBook Pro 2011 has 8GB of Ram and had maxed specs so it's something related with the software and my system is laggy. I can't make again a clean install.
Got a tip for us?

Launch Activity Monitor and change "My Processes" at the top to "All Processes", then click on the CPU column heading once or twice, so the arrow points downward (highest values on top). Then look to see what may be consuming system resources.
