I'm just curious - why did you swap the HDD with the same sized slower one and why would that be an advantage? I'm still learning about these systems...

I can't speak for underclocker but I generally find slower working drives to be an advantage to faster broken ones nearly 100% of the time.
YMMV

TTA pretty much nailed it. When I bought the machine, that is what the owner had installed. I don't know what happened to the faster drive.

Advantage of faster drive - speed.
Benefits of slower drive - less noise, less heat, improved battery life???
