ReBoot Time

I envy you all

Adaptec HostRAID card 4TL, slow as hell mounting 4 HDs!

Changed to a Promise TX8660 and Intel X25-V and got it down to 71 seconds, quite content now considering it has to mount 10 x HDDs, 4 x BD-RE/ROMs and about 10 x USB devices :)

I'm finding it is pretty easy to manipulate your startup time. Normally with all USB items connected (one hard drive and two printers) my startup time is around 50 seconds. Just by disconnecting the hard drive and the two printers my startup time declines to 34 seconds.

Vertex 2 60GB

Most of the really fast startup times posted here are probably done with a minimal set of peripheral hardware attached and most startup items disabled. I managed to get a 3 year old dell (2 GHz Core 2, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB velociraptor) to reboot 7 ultimate in 40 seconds or less consistently even though it's a much slower machine overall than any new computer available today. If you want to get a good accurate comparison between machines, disable everything in the startup tab of msconfig, clean all the temp files and defrag first

This is the current monster rig lol...Vertex 2 60GB

28 seconds in diagnostic start-up - 31 seconds in normal start-up

A small 32GB ssd used with HDDBoost gives 31 seconds...probably the best deal out there atm.

Good boot times, all of them.

With all my USB items disconnected - 28 secs. Seems like i am cheating when posting.
