Question Different reading speeds depending on machine

[H4rdas]

So I can't wrap this around my head, but I have a laptop that reads the HDD at around 60-70mb/s (used a boot usb to test) but when I did the same test on a desktop by plugging in the HDD from the laptop, the speed I was getting was 110-120mb/s. Could this be bottlenecked due to cpu?

Not as much by CPU but SATA controller. Some are faster than others.

So replacing the HDD to a SSD wouldn't make much of a difference?

Well, yes, SSD would be much faster.
