I have a couple of i5-6500T based mini desktops with SATA SSDs. They are OK once they get going, but booting, updates, scans--they're painfully slow. These Ryzen 5 pro machines with PCIe drives are another whole experience. Blazingly fast in comparison. At the right price, this is a great deal. This particular one also had 16GB RAM (don't tell the vendor) and the M.2 integrated Wifi/Bluetooth card. I've got two of these now, and love them.
