These SSD boot times are astonishing but each second has gotta cost a fiver or something lol

lol, it's not about the boot times really though is it. Look at them as an indication of how snappy and responsive you can expect your system to be.

The lower the boot time the faster it's likely to be in the OS, that's what I pay for.

It is rather boring waiting for a HDD to boot now though after being spoilt with an SSD.

Also cant get this to work. W764, deleted Temp account, guest account is off, admin account has password removed. On restart no timer help?

EDIT: fixed it - for anyone having problems in W7 go to right click properties - on the general tab at the bottom allow the program (scan it first for safety) and then on the compatibility tab make sure the box Run as administrator is checked.

Am I the first single digiter?

I didn't disable services for that or anything, standard bootup with MSN loading at startup (and some Adobe crap)

Still under 10 seconds with my junk installed, some other people's benchies were taken on fresh installs too

. I'm pretty stoked with it.

How much data is on your drive?

MoRT489 · 15 Nov 2009 at 17:00

The results in this thread seem to suggest the larger the SSD the faster it boots windows, is this the case?

Oh dear, man that takes me back. I feel less shortchanged having such a fast boot now. But I don't really notice a massive difference at the moment with my SSD. Need to get back into gaming and such :X
