Where is the bottleneck in the configuration of a computer for reading many files?

Question

Iron

Hello.
Computer configuration:
Motherboard z270-p
Processor i7-7700
Hard drive 256 ssd 970 evo plus
Ozu 8 gb Samsung from inexpensive 2400
Essence of a question. There are folders with a huge number of files in them. There are programs that work with reading these folders. There are no problems with this on a macbook, on a computer with the configuration above, everything turns into a continuous frieze. Is it a matter of oz?

Answer 1

No, it's most likely the file system.
