    I agree but idk what the hell Hitachi did with that hdd. It is the most responsive hdd equipped machine I’ve used.

    I might also shove 16 gb into it but idk if it will boot with 16 gb. It’s also from Sony so idk if I can find an up to date bios for it.

      Some HDDs are “hybrid”: they have a sizable amount (~8-16 GB) of SSD storage that the drive firmware stores the most often accessed blocks, rest is accessed from usual spining rust. You may have that kind of HDD.

        It’s just a normal hdd.

        It’s currently installing some stuff hence the 100% utilization.

        And sorry for taking 50 years to get back to you
