Seems respectable enough. I have to admit, I do love my SSD.

Still don't beat a single Raptor.

Shaved off a second with no gui boot.

I think I just did.

I took the DVD out of the drive and unplugged my external USB drive. I haven't tuned this at all but I suppose I'll have to try now. Good idea making the video.. I may have to do that! Oh, I'll try the nogui switch too.

Think this guy has the record. I don't think I've seen one lower then that yet.

ReBoot Time

You've got 3 seconds lower than mine Captain Zero. :)

Maybe you didn't notice this (OCZ Vertex on XPS 420) from 3 weeks ago since it's only a thumbnail....

Or this (OCZ Vertex on my M1330 laptop) I posted 4 weeks ago....

Well then you have the lowest I've seen then.

After some tuning (this was fun) I managed to get this;

This might be cheating but I disabled the logo on the BIOS bootup, it shaved 1-2 seconds. I can't imagine anything I could do to improve on this but after an hour or two of tinkering, this seems to be the best I can do. Maybe if I disabled the gui boot, hmm..

Since I have 11x drives installed it would (theorhetically) be faster if BIOS didn't have to detect all the drives. But I'm not disconnecting all of that heh. I did take the DVD out of the drive and unplug the USB external drive. Otherwise, everything is set to normal. I don't use a pagefile so I'm sure that is a major factor, especially shutting down. Cheers.
