Why are old computers so slow after starting them and why do they need some time/heat to work fast/properly again?
In: Technology
The main reason old computers feel slower other than the processor is that old computers will almost entirely use a hard disk drive or HDD as opposed to a modern solid state drive, or SSD to store their data.
Hard disk drives are electromechanical devices with moving parts, and are vastly slower than SSDs.
