Time for a drive upgrade. This HDD I'm replacing is the last remaining component from the pre-built I bought in 2018.

That feels about right for how long it took that one. I don’t have any idea what more modern macs are like - that 2012 one is the only one I’ve ever worked on, and it wasn’t for personal use. I suspect that if it had an SSD it would have gone faster.

My experiment was with an SSD. With a hard drive, it took close to an entire day.
