Hi all
I recently replaced my old HDD with a shiny new Samsung 840 SSD. I used the Samsung software to clone my existing Windows install onto the SSD.
The difference in speed in Windows is fantastic, particularly things like X-Plane 10 which used to take forever to load up. Benchmarks from AS SSD look fine too, and the 2 little numbers at top-left are green and suggest the offset alignment is OK.
However, the only bit I'm not totally convinced on is the boot time. The old HDD takes about 68 secs to get to the desktop, whereas the SSD takes 45 sec. I know that's a reasonable improvement and, to be fair, it does also take less time before the desktop is actually usable, than with the HDD. I'm just curious what sort of boot times the rest of you get with SSD's though - is 45 secs in the right ball park?
BTW, to confirm - I'm using Win 7 Ultimate x64, and I'm timing from the POST beep to the desktop appearing.
cheers
Danny
