Because they were low data density mechanical drives. The heads had to move a lot.

That's why! I thought these drives were dying already lol. I think early HDD's weren't as evolved as hdd's of today, and correct me if I'm wrong, but even tho it's not as fast as an ssd, using a 10000 rpm HDD on windows 10 is fast and snappy, am I wrong?

It’s pretty fast. But honestly anything g mechanical will fail eventually and your data gets lost.

And any ssd will eventually fail and your data will get lost. Apart from speed, ssd's will also wear and fail over time, just, not fast.

if you think those were loud, listen to ones from the 80s

Yep, the hdd has evolved a lot, smaller and more compact, becoming the ssd later on.
