I remember going to a friends house and using their computer, and it took several minutes to boot, and even after it reached the desktop it still took more time for things to become responsive. Opening any program took at least 10 seconds, possibly more.
Those old HDDs could only reach low double digit IOPS, so opening a program would cause the entire system to become unresponsive until it was loaded!
Modern SSDs are massively faster, and stay fast even when heavily used! Some of the modern SSDs are even faster when lots of operations are queued up!
