ReBoot Time

[Everlong]

Okay, I read the AnandTech article on SSDs AnandTech: The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZ and it got my curiosity going. At least enough to find out that Newegg has the 30GB OCZ Vertex on sale. So I gets me one with the 1275 firmware and throw it in an XPS M1330 and install build 7068 x64. Good GOD man, it's on the next task before I think of what the next task is going to be! ....LOL
This is just after installing. Nothing Disabled. Subsequent reboots have been getting a little faster.

40 seconds.....what's the record?

I wonder how much improvement there still is with an SSD drive like Intel's X25-M for example.

The article I referred-to:
AnandTech: The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZ

really is a comparison of just that, how the "other" drives measure up to the Intel Gold Standard. I guess what got me to try the OCZ Vertex is that the Vertex is the closest one out there at this point in time. And the follow-up article revealed that the new firmware put it even closer. I couldn't resist when I saw them on sale.

I did a comparison on a Dell laptop that had Vista... then upgraded it to windows 7 and ran the Restart script on both'

Vista: 209 sec
7 : 122 sec

the laptop only has a 1.6ghz processor and 2GB ram so I wasnt expecting anything under 100. I was still floored with the difference!

What build is that? You still have the send feedback link on the window. 7000? You might get a better time with a more recent build.

Yes, 7000. But I will download the RC on 5/5.

First run.... Happy!!

61s, half of that is BIOS

64bit build 7000, installed on the official release date, so that's few months of daily use.

Here's mine. Single core P4 2.0, 1 gig ram, A raid 0 array and 3 other hard drives. 7 partitions in all that the boot process checks on startup.

 

[Win7User512]

I got mine down from 119 to 100, but I don't know if that is going to stay the case. :-(

here's mine, faster than it was with 7077
