Big MKV files taking forever to open (Quicktime) on seperate HDD

[Totti]

Hi guys,

I have High Sierra set up on a APFS SSD. My TV shows are set up on a seperate non APFS drive. Ever since updating, quicktime seems to bounce in the dock while it's 'verified' before opening. Never seen this happen. Any ideas?

Try benchmarking the other HDD with blackmagic design disk speed and check your read & write speeds to at least confirm if you HDD is working properly. If that drive is NTFS formatted you might need something like Paragon NTFS for mac to let the app have access for the benchmarking.
