it makes brrrr sounds

It's normal and expected that a HDD makes noise when it reads/writes data. If it sounds like these it should be fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJM8rHfsgjk

it also takes a while

If you are comparing it to an SSD, a longer response time is expected. If your file manager freezes for seconds whenever you open a folder. That's probably a bit too slow.
