Visited an Apple store today to ask if they had any suggestion and fees to do a tuneup. It was suggested that my internal hard drive was going bad and to upgrade to Solid State Drive. Said they were almost certain that a new drive would fix the problem. Anyone else experience this? It was also slow with High Sierra before I installed Catalina. But Catalina has added other problems.
Got a tip for us?

Replacing an HDD with an SSD is probably the most effective thing you can do to make your Mac work faster - it’s not that expensive and it will have a dramatic speed improvement
Thanks for the input. I seem to be having so many problems that I didn't think an SSD would fix much.
There’s an app, DriveDX, which can check the SMART status of your internal drive and let you know if its failing. Highly useful tool, so much so that I purchased the full license for my own use!
