iMac 2019 hard disk performance

Hi

I recently bought the iMac 21.5" retina MRT32T with mechanical disc (1TB)


Mojave is incredibly slow as per my feeling:

I have other two iMac with mech. disk - 27” 2012 and 21.5” 2015 - performing really better with El Capitan. 


with the Blackmagic test it does not exceed 70MB / s read:write .... is there anyone else experiencing the same disk performance?


Regards

if it's only 5400rpm hd then that sounds about right few machanical hd's can sustain more than around 100MB/s and those would be 7200 and 10000rpm ones


ssd on the other hand can do 3GB/sec
