The Wikipedia page for Workstation [1] says that it’s a type of computer designed for scientific or technical use, for a single user, and would commonly run a multi-user OS. For comparison the HP ML 110 Gen9 workstation I’m currently using was released in 2021 and has 256G of RAM and has 4 * 3.5″ SAS bays so I could easily put a few 4TB NVMe devices and some hard drives larger than 10TB. A Dell PowerEdge T320 from 2012 fully loaded with 192G of RAM will outperform a modern Mac Mini on many tasks due to this and the T420 supported up to 384G.
