512GB Seagate HDD 5400 RPM

Sounds like its written by someone that have never owned a Core 2 Duo, as I remember the disk sizes of that time was 500GB, 750GB and 1000GB at 7200 RPM, I think 5400 RPM is slow and mostly used on 2.5" or 5.25" disks.

Or they were just using an old drive, or a cheap one.

5400 rpm was very common. 7200 were the performance drives.

As I remember around 2007, 5400 RPM was frowned upon in builds.

The disks I have from that time is a WD RE2 (very noisy 7200 RPM) and a few WD Green's (I think they are slower than 5400 RPM just to mess with my arguments).

And if you wanted very high performance, you could go with a 10000rpm one.

The latest the CPU could've come out is around the time Barack Obama became a household name, at which point 64GB would've been a really big and expensive SSD. They probably wanted space
