ReBoot Time

[stereo]

What Dave said is true. Restart time only has to do with the SSD. Here's my best restart time. Done with a 500GB Data drive and 2 1TB drives for backup and storage. The OS is on an Intel X25M.

23 sec. That's very fast.
Mine in 44 sec.
How do you make it so fast, except SSD ?
Is Intel X25M much faster than OCZ Vertex 2 ?

Which is faster depends on who you ask. They are both good though. I try to keep startup items to a minimum and do very few tweeks to the system. That's all I do.

To cut 40 seconds off your restart time is really good. Not many people can do that.

Just on my laptop with a few things that load.

Good times for a laptop.

thanks man! i was really hesitant because of the short warranty on a refurbed SSD. considering that the corsair force series (sandforce) has a decent record, i thought the odds are with me, so i bit the bullet and spent the $120 dollars. cmonnn it's hard to not buy 1$/GB SF drive!!!

it's been a couple weeks now, and everything is running so smoothly. now i can forget about hibernate, and just shutdown super fast.

the 2nd of many upgrades i will bring to my lappy (first being the 98Whr OEM battery).

next, backlit keyboard. after... GPU/CPU. i am very happy the GPU is upgradable.
or.. maybe a 1.8" HD. i found an microSATA 1.8" HD space and slot on the bottom of my motherboard. crazy business.

i guess i will do RAM last.

I think you have already done the best upgrade you can do. And good luck with the SSD. I love mine and won't be without one again.

It is, I had some help from Harry Potter and Hogwarts magic.

In that case I'm disappointed. I would have thought that Harry could do better.

I love my new Rig, especially with almost no start-up programs.

 

[essenbe]

Looks good. Keep it that way.

I got a restart time of 73 seconds. Seems to me it's counting the BIOS time as well. But yeah on a year old Windows 7 with countless software installs and uninstalls I was expecting a bit better but oh well SSD is next in the list!

If you used the file from this site for restart time, it measures the shutdown time, POST and loading windows time.

Ah! That makes sense. I was interepretting it quite incorrectly thanks for that!

There is a free program called bootracer that just measures startup time.
