This notebook is an Aspire E1-731-4699. The original hard drive was a
500G, but upgraded it to the 1Tb drive years ago. Everything else seems
to run just fine. Do have a very old IBM thinkpad R60, and it did
upgrade a lot faster than this one, but it has a few less packages installed.
Question: Doesn't the dnf process use the cache feature of the disk??
Know that the higher number is actually the speed of accessing the ram
buffer of the disk. But the lower number is the physical speed of the
disk. Just know that I started process at about after 11pm, and the
download only took about 25 minutes for the 5.4G of files it reported.
It was just the update.

Well thanks for the time.
My first computer was a Heathkit H-120 with dual cpus. 8080 and an
8mzh 8088. Would only use one or other, not both at same time. Had
768K RAM and 192k video board. Much nicer than IBM PC. 20M hard
disk was an option, but was an extra $2000 on top of the $2349 for the
kit. So, ran it on dual 360K floppys. At the time, the college mini system
was an IBM System 34 with 96K of ram and 63.9M hard disk. Better
than the IBM 1130 I have in high school that had 8K of Ram and 5M
hard disk, and used punched cards..
Perhaps an SSD drive would change things.
Be Safe.
