About the only way I know to shorten that time is to make sure you have all external drives and devices turned off... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Homebrew

Part of the problem seems to be the SSD itself. I also noticed a much longer BIOS splash screen phase since I installed the SSD - and the rest of my configuration stayed the same. In fact, my BIOS phase is longer then the boot time of Windows 7. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops

My BIOS is also longer than my actual Boot times with Windows 7 with my Intel SSD. From power on, till anything comes up on my screen is about 7 seconds. Than another 12 seconds or so until starting Windows7. Then it's about 13 seconds until I'm at the login screen. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009

Actually, my time on the POST screen goes by so fast that I have to hit the reset button to get into BIOS! Prior to the SSD, it was just a normal pause, now its skips by at a flash.
Do you have Quick Boot enabled (or whatever its name variation) in BIOS? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Rig 1

Do you have Quick Boot enabled (or whatever its name variation) in BIOS? I have quick boot enabled on my machine. Motherboards are all different with regards to how much time they take to post...and it depends upon what other hardware you have plugged in and what features you have enabled.
Even though my BIOS is nearly 20 seconds, i'm into Windows with my desktop in about 35 seconds total...so that is plenty fast enough for me. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009
