Can a slow SSD make my fan loud and slow my laptop?
Hello,
I have a Macbook Air 13” late-2010 (A1369) that I purchased second hand. It’s really slow and the fan is loud when doing simple tasks. The battery also depletes in about an hour of moderate use although I am aware that I will need to replace the battery as that is a separate issue.
I’ve attached a screenshot of About This Mac.
Could it be possible that my current SSD is causing these issues? I ran a disk speed test and it’s showing this:
read: 140.7 mb/s
write: 206 mb/s
I’ve got another laptop (Macbook Pro) and its SSD read and write speeds are under 500 mb/s and runs really fast.
Should I just replace the SSD with one that has fast read/write speeds? Any suggestions would be really helpful!
Here is a TG Pro screenshot on the MacBook Air’s Diagnostics:
Thank you!

Something else is going on here. Can you find out the history on the system? Sounds like this system has a thermal/voltage sensor issue so SMC has throttled down the CPU. Did the system get wet?

Not that I know of. All buttons are working and the trackpad is fine as well.

Lets try running the onboard diagnostics. Restart the system and press the D key before the OS starts to load.
Reference: Mac startup key combinations Apple broke diagnostics in the newer Firmware/OS's so if it doesn't run you'll need to check things with TG Pro

I've installed TG Pro and attached a screenshot above on my post. Hope that helps!
I tried to run the Apple Diagnostic test but it said "Apple Hardware Test does not support this device". Understandable as it's 2010, very old!
