Slower boot with Vertex 3

[X3T]

I had an OCZ Vertex 2 60Gb SSD in my last PC, running Windows 7 and everything else my current PC is running. Boot times were mega fast, and programs like IE9 & explorer opened literally instantly.

My new PC has a Vertex 3 120Gb SSD in it, and benchmarks like ATTO confirm it is running about twice as fast as the Vertex 2 (it achieves the rated speeds.)

However my boot times are significantly slower now, as well as opening programs like IE9 or explorer where there is a tiny pause (hardly noticable, but it wasn't there before!)

This is with a clean install of Windows with all the drivers up to date. What could be causing this?

interestingly i felt like my m4 was slower than the ocz vertex (1) that it replaced

ill be interested to know the answer too

I also notice a small pause when I open firefox. Could be a sata 3 issue. Chances are though it was there before with your other ssd but your paying more attention now as your expecting everything to be much faster.

I notice coming from my corsair force sata 2 ssd to my ocz agility 3 sata 3 that the windows loading screen are now slightly longer, with the corsair it was just a quick flash of the welcome screen now it is noticeable longer
