Nope. Regular spinning hard drive. A 4 or 5 year old, 7200 RPM, WD
500GB SATA II (NOT III!), MBR configured from the 13 year old system.
It had replaced as system drive the original 160GB one which after
13 years of spinning, I was getting nervous about failing.
For the curious out there, the reason I'm running that old drive in the
new system is at the time I built the new system, I hadn't decided how
I wanted to configure it as I had no experience and little knowledge of
SSDs, 2.5 inchers or M.2s, SATAs or NVME, their advantages and
disadvantages, etc. And the new system has lots of drive
configuration options to consider not only for now, but for the future.
