I have the same model in a little used SFF Dell GX745 test box:

Similarities and differences are interesting. SMART Attributes Data Structure for
yours is longer. Serial numbers suggest mine is newer, but firmware suggests yours
is newer. I checked https://www.toshiba-storage.com/ trying to find updated
firmware, but can't even locate the model number there. Mine's running on an old
ICH8 SATA 2.0 controller, so it feels sluggish running @3.0 Gb/s. Mine's hours are
nominal, so if you're interested in acquiring another, make an offer. :)

Oh, and boot speed has been totally normal, patience trying compared to my NVME PCs.

Maybe it's worth a read of my experience with Grub(1) sloth:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/grub-legacy-delay-of-more-than-2-minutes-loading-initrd-from-ext4-filesystem-4175599620/
It could be Grub2 is capable of similar delays from a poor BIOS INT13* implementation.
