- rekabis 2y agoI ran this test myself when another obsolete bit of Y2K kit recently fell into my hands: even with a 256Gb spinning-rust drive and 1Gb of RAM, just using Windows Explorer to copy, move, and delete files took a fraction of the time my main rig did. And my main rig is a Dell T7920 running Win11 Pro for Workstations 24h2, with a Gen4 TLC NVMe directly attached to the Gen3 PCIe bus (at 7,000/6,900Mbps it can totally saturate its channel), 256Gb of 3200Mhz DDR4 LRDIMMs (4×32Gb), and dual 8C/16T Intel Silver 4110 CPUs. By any measure, my current rig should have blown the Win2k machine out of the water. The Win2k machine did the file operations in HALF THE F**KING TIME
