continually get spinning pinwheel

I have been getting the spinning pinwheel of death for quite some time, and have finally decided to do something about it.  I have a MacBook Pro that is a couple years old.  It has all the updates etc.  We purchased one for my wife at the same time, but she has NO issues.  The only difference is that mine (the troubled one) had a 1 TB hard drive and hers is 500 GB.

I get this at odd times and cannot find any rhyme or reason.  It has been suggested that I may need a new hard drive. 

Shut down

Disconnect all external devices
