What was PC gaming like in 2007? Were PATA/IDE/EIDE Hard Disk Drives really that bad?

i built my first gaming computer in 2008 and everything worked fine, including those shitty ide drives, but it's laughable compared to today's tech
the old stuff had more soul, tho i'll say that

same as today really, but games were more optimized back then because game devs had a lot more limitations bec of space on CDs / DVDs, RAM and processing power

It was alright. Boot time without SSD was the biggest difference compared to today
