Found this dusty antique from the days when video players would let you buffer. If only this were still a thing. (startrek.website)

the latency is noticeably slowing down windows and chrome, but the drive is still in good shape.

The real problem here is Windows. I've seen Windows thrash spinning rust disks continuously for hours and hours until I shut it off. I put Linux on there to see what happens and it's happy as an otter with a clam.

I can't stop these people from making terrible choices. Corporations want to reach everyone as possible but for profit, so I promise its mostly the ads that take a hefty toll on their machines.
