Hardware and Beach balls
Editing HD footage (Apple ProRes 422, 1920×1080) without LUTs, making simple edits, with one layer of video and audio, I’m finding the “beach ball” appearing every couple of minutes.
I like Resolve, but the continual interruptions are very annoying to the “flow” of editing.
Is my system and/or configuration adequate to handling Resolve? Do you have any suggestions for tuning the system?
Thank you!

System and RAID disks are 90% and 80% full respectively. -

Your hard drives being that full are certainly not helping your cause.

Laptops are not ideal for Resolve. I agree with David that having mostly-full hard drives is problematic at best, and could be a potential disaster at worst.
