What I suspect is happening is that with most of your files on the SSD, the HD is being spun down, and the stalls that you are seeing is just waiting for the HD to spin back up. To test this, uncheck "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" in the Energy Saver control panel. > > [But note that I'm not done trouble-shooting my SSD with the vendor, and > suggestions for me about that would be OT for this list.
