Just curious: Harddisk, or SSD type? I've seen that SSDs seem to be way way faster for random access....
Also, unrelated, but is it possible to "move" a complete harddisk clone from an old Win10 laptop to a new drive on a different machine (like one of those you've got there), without having to reinstall Windows (just reactivate it or whatever) so that I don't have to reinstall and reconfigure a bajillion pieces of software, music plugins, etc? There arent' any install media, just a restore partition, which presumably only works on the laptop....
I ask because my laptop isn't quite sufficient anymore for what I want to do with music, and someday when I have a job again and enough money coming in I'd like to use a desktop for the music stuff for the expansion capabilities and multimonitor possiblities. (and the laptop is having more and more random issues with hardware and/or crashes over time).
