Got this MacMini late 2014, a base model with i5 1.4Ghz CPU 4GB RAM and 500GB spinning disk, previous user used to have lot of stuff onto it, practically unusable, not slow, basically dead.
Went the format route and it is much better but somehow it still feels slow, just wondering which kind of disk this used to ship with, if a 4,xK or a 5.2K RPM
I plan on upgrading to an SSD probably but in the meantime I would live it as it is, no money to throw on something which I don't strictly need nor I have the damn TR6 torx screwdriver to remove the bottom plate but just curious to know how comes it is that slow, CPU or HD? It kind of looks slower than another Mini I have which I only use to stream music which is a C2Duo with same RAM and 320GB spinning drive.
Grazie
P.S. found out it should be a 5.200RPM
