Hi,

Actually, it sounds like something's going on with the external HD.  When they 
get bad sectors on the HD, it makes the drive work harder and slower and can 
often slow down your entire system.  If the MBA works fine without the drive 
connected, and if you can confirm it works fine with a different drive 
connected, then the culprit is that external.

Hi all,

My friend has a Mac book air 2015 with 4 GB of ram and has a problem with 
finder being slugusnesds particularly when copying files from or to her 
external HD.  She has tried reformatting her drive with no effect.  She is 
running the Mac OS 10.12.23  and as I said with 4 gb of ram.  She said she has 
a lot of stuff on the external, but not sure ion that has anything to do with 
it.I thought she should try taking it in to have it looked at, but wondered if 
anyone else has had this happened to them.  If anyone else has any ideas on 
this one please let me know so that I can try passing them on to her.

Thanks again in advance for any help you might have.

Matthew
