Here's my WD Velociraptor 600GB

Not too shabby

Crucial C300 128GB, two months old installation of Win7 x64. Didn't bother to switch anything off on start up.

I think theres something wrong with my Vertex 2E 60GB.

xtremedetailz · 14 Apr 2011 at 23:07

My new Vertex 3 running in the raid bios as it wont install on AHCI.

My Vertex 3 is fair bit slower than yours xtremedetailz, but im running it on X58 board with the fabulous marvell controller. Though your times are around twice as fast.
What Clock is your CPU at out of interest?

hmmm my time to logon is around 19 and time to desktop 23, so time from logon to desktop is about the same, its just the 11 seconds difference at the first stage?
Drive is plugged into SATA3 port and set to ACHI and is primary boot device with CD drive 2nd, my RAM is also the same 1066 C7

mine is set to raid mode in the bios XHD if i remember correct as it wouldnt install in ahci mode.

my scores are also slower than ahci mode so doesnt make much sense.

Here's my WD Caviar Blue, pretty depressing.

I really need to get myself one of these SSD's.

Is there any tool other than combing through performance or event logs which tells you why your boot is so slow, if it is slow...

DragonQ · 16 Apr 2011 at 11:40

There is a program that tells you what programs are starting and how long each one takes to load...can't remember what it's called though. There was probably a thread about it here at some point.

EDIT: Soluto! That's it.

Daanng... I need an SSD in my new build

(Also, I'd like to add.... I was able to use my Desktop at around 50 seconds but for some reason it carried on counting... Probably because programs were starting)

Hi Guys,

I've just joined a new review site and have compared the following 'Boot Timings' (Thanks for the heads up on this bench from this forum ;-)

The timings are from an existing 'imaged' harddrive restored onto the following:

Samsung F3 1tb (78 Sec)
Corsair X64 SSD (30 Sec)
Vertex 3 SSD (24 Sec)

http://pcgameware.co.uk/review-ocz-vertex-3-120gb-by-greg/

Bear in mind this is a long running installation (ie not fresh install) so has all sorts in the start up. - but maybe like a typical machine after a few months or so?

From running MSCONFIG

I have the following 'extra' services running

Asus com service
Asus HM com service
Asus System Control service
.Net 4 (x86 & x64)
Futuremark SystemInfo service
Intel PROSet Monitoring Service
NVIDIA Driver Helper Service
NVIDIA Update Service Daemon
STEAM Client Service

And in my Startup I have
Roboform (browser password manager)
Adobe Reader
Adobe Acrobat
AudioDrvEmulator
IAStorIcon
USB 3.0 Monitor
Java(TM) Platform SE Auto Updater 2.0
Browser Configuration Utility

Fresh Win 7 install on a Sammy SSD, about a year or so old now.

3 raid drives, steam etc on start up too. Not bad!

Dea924 · 29 Apr 2011 at 15:43

LoL, on a 160gb 4 year old seagate barruda drive

on a second try though i got

Pleasantly surprised actually

ryu · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:02

i get 8 seconds to the logon screen, with my Kingston v series 64gb.

Fuzz · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:31

50 seconds to desktop on my crappy old SATA drive.

Don't think I'll bother with SSD just yet

SiD the Turtle · 30 Apr 2011 at 10:46

Intel 320 Series 120GB here.

8 seconds to login, 31 seconds to desktop because I apparently the time to desktop counter still ticks away until I finish logging into Gmail notifier. :rolleyes:
