Hi Guys,
I have a Macbook Pro (13" / mid 2012 / model a1278 / High Sierra 10.13.6) upgraded it with ssd some years ago but few weeks ago mac crashed and had to replace the hdd cable and ssd drive as it was corrupted. After this used Migration Tool to have all the files back on the new drive but laptop is very slow even typing on safari or small tasks the beach ball of death comes on so i thought needed more Ram so added today 8gb of new ram (had 4gb before) started computer and same! No improovments and not faster also BBOD, just opening a tab in Safari takes more then 6 seconds, typing makes it sluggish or a simple task makes the computer very slow, what could be?
Before the laptop crashed noticed that when upgraded from Sierra to High Sierra the laptop was bit slower but not showing BBOD for any simple task, i know there is something wrong but can't figure it out.
Maybe the new hdd cable is slower? maybe the APFS formatting i wasn't using before makes it perform slower?
The ssd i was using was Sandisk and now a Kingston ssd but don't think this is the problem as also changed the brands on cMP 5.1 and performs great.
Already tried PRAM reset, turned off FireVault run CC Cleaner, Onyx all the same, please help!
