You shouldn't just take the seqencial as the king. Your ssd might appear slower than the barracuda, but it destroyed the barracuda random access test. It's going to feel much better overall than a harddrive.

This is what you could expect from recent HDD's, so not really. I believe my Barracuda 2TB gets about 200mb/s

 

Edit: this is the speed on my Barracuda

It's the Seagate Barracuda Compute ST2000DM008. If you want to get one, keep in mind that it's a pretty loud drive if you care about noise levels. Probably the loudest component in my system.

 

Edit: also keep in mind that I have nothing on it. If it's filled with data I assume it will be slower.

I'd say your SSD is right about average of HDD's. I've had some that refused to go above 100MB/s and more recently I'm seeing about 180MB/s from my newer HDD's (new and just formatted). Some are faster, as mentioned above, but that's likely where price differences come in

It's faster, in random read, which matters a lot. I have 850 Pro decade old SSD it's way faster than that and yeah.

Something is wrong with the numbers. 1.695.982.398 GB total writes over 49.779 hours would mean 9,46GB/s write speed or 9460MB/s nonstop. Which would mean that your Sata II ssd(that produces Sata I/IDE 133 speeds) can write as fast as the PCIe Gen5 NVMe.

Your math does not add up.

2011 to now is roughly 4380 days. At 33gb per day, that's only 144,540 gb.

It's around 10x faster in 4K QD1. 

This affects things like opening programs, searching for files and starting your computer. 

The top line number mostly matters if you're transferring large files around. This is not a common use case.
