Hard disk performance actually determines the performance of your PC to an extent and this is why most of us prefer SSDs over HDDs. SSDs are much better in overall read and write performance. Now even if you have an SSD on your laptop, it would better to have monitoring of the SSD once in a while to check the performance of your drives. If you are using macOS, then you can check disk performance on macOS using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test app.
