The HDD not changed from 2008 to now... it is the same mechanical thing... the companies just added more buffers caches to speed the first second of the reads. That is what I wanted to demostrated.

Like I mentioned before, it also depends on your system's ability to handle the HDD, your system is bottlenecked.

and just for shits and giggles-
This is a 2.5 inch HDD drive in USB3 enclosure:
This is 2 2.5 inch HDD drives in raid-0 USB3 enclosure:
This is 2 m4 512GB SSD drives in raid-0:
So yeah, your laptop is weak is the reason why your speeds are not very good.
