With a Caviar Blue lmao. Record your boot up time for us then a post it to YouTube, let us see your HDD boot in to Windows in less than 10 seconds. Lmao.

He probably has Windows 8/10 Quick boot on, so it'll boot pretty quickly. But from a cold boot that's different. Mine is still under 5 seconds from a cold boot.

Well yes one of the features of my motherboard is Quick Boot. Why would I not utilize that haha. Ill record it rn give me a sec.

If you're not booting from completely powered off, that doesn't count.

I booted it from completely off, unplugged it even. I just timed it. No it wasnt under 10 seconds, I have never timed it it just feels that way. INstead it took 17.64

I honestly dont mind waiting 20 seconds lmao.

I'd rather not wait for programs in my start up to take forever tho, you can do whatever you want while things load with an SSD, the HDD usually "bottlenecks" (god I hate that word) the system from doing anything while starting up.

meanwhile windows 10 boots from BIOS screen on a slow ssd in near 5 seconds for me...

15 seconds, its a quarter of a minute haha. I am not going to pay 50$ for 10 seconds off my boot time. I also dont mind if I load into a game map a few seconds later than a SSD user.

I do enjoy loading straight to desktop and being able to do something instantly, unlike my HDD would allow. I can be booted and in Skyrim in under 30 seconds ish which is lovely.

We don't care. That's not what we're talking about. You're not OP. You can't talk for OP.

And I agree it probably is nice, to me I dont mind. I dont open anything more than chrome, steam, and games really anyways, so its a big deal to me.

but where the SSD shines is decently big applications, it makes a huge difference when tying to load like PS for example.
