    Very slow on file operrations


    When copying files of any size, my system goes to 99% and then hangs there for about 10-30 seconds. Any operation causing a file rename has similar results.


    To make things faster I changed my two internal disks (1TB, 2TB) both to SSD's, no change. Copying files to the machine from over the local network has no such issues.


    I looked at many online complaints about slow disks, SSD's slow, etc, none relevant and I have tried all suggested remedies.


    I realize this is pretty sparse information to diagnose on - any hints of how to drill-down for more details?

    :)
