Sounds like its written by someone that have never owned a Core 2 Duo, as I remember the disk sizes of that time was 500GB, 750GB and 1000GB at 7200 RPM, I think 5400 RPM is slow and mostly used on 2.5" or 5.25" disks.
As I remember around 2007, 5400 RPM was frowned upon in builds.
The disks I have from that time is a WD RE2 (very noisy 7200 RPM) and a few WD Green’s (I think they are slower than 5400 RPM just to mess with my arguments).
The latest the CPU could’ve come out is around the time Barack Obama became a household name, at which point 64GB would’ve been a really big and expensive SSD. They probably wanted space

5400 rpm was very common. 7200 were the performance drives.

And if you wanted very high performance, you could go with a 10000rpm one.
The computer actually came with an SSD, they swapped it because they appreciate the time to think between one operation and the next
