I am not a fan of mint but it should not be slow. it should be running circles around the win8. You may need to check your HDD using SMART and make sure no errors. That is the most common cause of slow down.

Hey, I check my HDD with SMART using smartctl yesterday...
It has no bad sectors apparently but there are some errors that are not self-explanatory, however the overall health is reported as "PASSED".

Can you tell me what you would do with this HDD? is it OK? and which fields to pay attention to?

Bash: 
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda

SMART will say passed even with issues unless they are severe. You have errors showing and bad sectors which means you should look at replacing the drive. the reallocated sector count means bad sectors that are taken care of. The seek errors show the mechanics of the drive or the motor are starting to fail. This is seen with random slow down and freezing of system.

Once a drive starts with bad sectors it is time to replace. They are like a cancer and tend to spread. It could be hours til it is dead or years, you can't tell. But if you want things to run smooth then everything needs to be running error free. At this point you can recover all the data, maybe even clone the drive to another without issue. Just don't wait too long.
 
Looking at the serial number it appears to have been made in august 02, so it's getting very old and could pop its clogs at any time, euthanasia will be the best option saving any/all files to a new drive ASAP

You mean "7 Seek_Error_Rate"? it's at zero currently

How did you determine this? are you're saying it's from year 2002?

I am looking at value not raw value for seek error rate. The output is a bit messy I am used to seeing in in the GUI from the disk utility. I am fairly sure it has seek errors on it but if I read the messy output wrong, it still has bad sectors which are more serious and either one is cause for me to replace because either one will cause issue in operation.

I can't believe it's so old, I bought it together with my PC which is not more than 6-7 years old, but I guess the HDD was in store for long time before I purchased it.

I'm now seriously considering to learn interpreting SMART output and to eventually replace my drives.
Thank you for all help to both of you!

In which case, I am wondering if it's something made for and not by Toshiba, either way at 6/7/yrs your still better than expectancy.
Can you run from that machine in the terminal inxi -D and copy/paste back the result

Drive manufacturer is Toshiba, but my PC isn't Toshiba, it's not laptop
 
I have ploughed through pages of tech, so far I have found this drive was previously made by Hitachi, until the HDD division was carved up and sold on, the desktop drive factory went to Toshiba and the laptop drives went to Western Digital around 2012 so that may be why the age using the part number and your purchase age are not marrying up

It says:

lol, this is HDD but they say it's "Non-HDD" :D
Thanks for trying to help though.

there was zero chance of warranty still being active for any mechanical drive I know of. usually 3 years is the warranty period. But always good to check just in case.
 
I wasn't looking fo warranty...I was trying to copy brickwizards efforts at finding a manufacturing date

I was going to say..! I'm darned sure 1 TB drives weren't around in 2002.....perhaps 10 or 20 GB, that I could believe.

The anciente Dell Inspiron 1100 we purchased new in 2002 came with a 20 GB, 4,200 rpm Hitachi Travelstar. It also came with just 128 MB of DDR1; how on EARTH Dell thought that was going to run Win XP Home, I'll never know. It DID (sort of), but boy, did it struggle.

Talk about thrashing; it pretty much RAN from the page file!
