Trying to figure out why my Optiplex is slow (programming.dev)

First time self-hoster here. I recently bought Dell optiplex 5060 Micro on ebay (6 Core i5-8500T 2.1-3.5GHz 16GB DDR4 512GB M.2 SSD). I've been finding the computer to be quite slow when compared to my old laptop (it has similar specs to the optiplex actually. I've run the CrystalDiskMark (picture attached below) and Geekbench (https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/3268137). I'm guessing my SSD is quite old or just a bad brand, and so the computer is slow? Looking for help in debugging this situation.

It is a SATA SSD, so read speed is near the maximum SATA3 can do. Write is a bit slow though, which points to a cheap ssd.

Thanks. I wonder if I got shortchanged here. Do you know if optiplexes come with nvme ssds by default?

There could be a nvme slot inside urs. Many somewhat new optis have a unpopulated one
