ReBoot Time

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.

Attachment 161789

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.

That's a great time. Congrats on the new SSD,

Still on a spinner HDD...


but used to be over 130 seconds.
XP took about 4 minutes.

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. 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.
