Edit: The disk speed is intriguing! Could be because of age/ damage /corruption to the SATA connector?
On Disk speed

@vyas maybe check what generation the sata connector is at all. and what kind of disk is that (full smartctl output...) as you said crucial I'd assume an SSD, for which the 4k numbers look feasible. that you don't get a higher througput on 1MB bs is more likely a limitation based on the sata chip and ssd controller. back in the day the main improvment with SSDs was exactly only higher IOps with small blocksizes over bandwidth - simply because SATA couldn't deliver much higher speeds after all.
most likely won't hurt to put in a newer ssd though ;-)

Yes, similar performance.

Comments
use external kms servers
for example msguides.com is what i have used for years, just search windows 10 and put some stuff in cmd
is he somehow bruce lee related/reborned? the only other person i see with that many pushup videos is him.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Why not just spend a few bucks for a retail key? It's much more safer.

i have used this on my home pc for years now with no problems. i dont think there are any real security risks with using an external kms server,

Sir you make others sad by posting bms with those specs

Cheap home lab
The SSD is giving me some issues, so I'll be getting a replacement soon
Network speeds are while connected to a VPN server 4000 Km / 2400 miles away.
Well, i can post 128 core server with 80 TB NVMe SSD in a raid and 25+25 Gbit/s pipe, so nobody could beat that thing

I would have said disk speed looked correct compared with when I've ran yabs on similar era hardware.
Edit - this is newer hardware(ish) - AMD FX4100. SATA3 disks on SATA2 controller in SW RAID1:
that's helpful Many thanks. Was going to check with a different sata disk later today.

Once I've cooked I've got a PC with SATA and IDE drives I can do a comparison with too if it helps.

Ignore me then if it's an SSD - I misread that bit
Update: YABS with a SATA - Kingston M2 NGGF (with M2 to Sata converter).
somewhat better speeds.

Yes, a Crucial BX500 2.5" SSD, 120 GB
Thanks for the help so far folks- reviving this machine has been a great experience so far.
I might go back to the Crucial disk on this machine - not sure if this machine can support a 480 GB Disk.

Dunno if it helps but comparison with SSD (same PC as other test - no RAID/etc just SSD (Kingston I think) on SATA2 controller:
@Mr_Tom,
appreciate the data- suppose the machines from the era have a limitation - but they do have some life left in them!

Nice gb5 score for an i3. And results overall.

More than enough for serving some files over LAN and powering my Plex server.

Picked up a HP Workstation for cheap. Added a bit of RAM, OS on SSD and /home on NVMe (via PCI-e adapter).
just for fun, Ubuntu 20.04 under WSL2/Windows 10 on my daily driver:
