I have the same model in a little used SFF Dell GX745 test box: https://paste.debian.net/1224017/ Similarities and differences are interesting. SMART Attributes Data Structure for yours is longer. Serial numbers suggest mine is newer, but firmware suggests yours is newer. I checked https://www.toshiba-storage.com/ trying to find updated firmware, but can't even locate the model number there. Mine's running on an old ICH8 SATA 2.0 controller, so it feels sluggish running @3.0 Gb/s. Mine's hours are nominal, so if you're interested in acquiring another, make an offer. :) Oh, and boot speed has been totally normal, patience trying compared to my NVME PCs. Maybe it's worth a read of my experience with Grub(1) sloth: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/grub-legacy-delay-of-more-than-2-minutes-loading-initrd-from-ext4-filesystem-4175599620/ It could be Grub2 is capable of similar delays from a poor BIOS INT13* implementation. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
