Is it worth taking the computer apart to upgrade the hard drive? We replaced the 16GB of ram with 32GB and it has helped immensely. I’ve heard that the hard drive it comes with is slow and I feel it is limiting the computers potential.
HDDs are generally slow! But you need to balance your storage. Leveraging a fast NVMe SSD for your boot drive and hosting your Apps and that’s about it. You still want a fair amount of the drive to be empty for caching and swap file and if your apps can take advantage scratch space. Holding you data on the slower HDD. So yes adding a SSD will improve your systems performance!
