Intel G2 bootup time?

What is a good bootup time to windows 7 if you have Intel G2 SSD?

Say you were to neglect the start system bootup, which depends on manufacturer, for me, once I see the windows 7 logo, it takes me almost 20s to bootup to windows 7 envionment (i.e. not including the start up time for the system, and entering passwords, etc). And I have the intel G2 SSD. THis is terrible. I am almost convinced something is wrong. What should the bootup time be like, once you start seeing the windows logo?

 

A great little program to measure your boot time, and keep everybody to the same standard.

 

Mine is so slow. Here is my time and my start up programs:

• Synaptics Driver
• Synaptics Scrybe Driver
• Avast 5
• Gmail Notifier
• Rainlendar
• Acer Launch Manager

 

For comparison, here's mine on a 320GB W.D 7200rpm Scorpio Black. So it's to be hoped your read/write speeds are better.

 

Let us see:

 

from a cold boot (bios screen included) it takes me 24 sec. to get to my desktop with my G2 80gb. How many programs do you have at startup? Are you using Intel drivers or MS?

 

Maybe under 15 seconds is a good time? My netbook with hdd takes around 20 seconds from pressing power button to usability.

 

Yeesh. Takes me about 45 seconds from power press to active desktop. Almost eighteen of those seconds are POSTing. Don't know why it takes so long to POST.

160GB G2 Intel here.

 

Avast early load significantly slows down boot time. It can be changed under "Troubleshooting" in Settings.

 

Thanks, that helped:

 

I guess the simple hardware of netbooks allow almost instant bios POST.

 

is, during the boot, the hdd light constantly glowing/flickering?

or are there pauses? if there are, the ssd is not the thing blocking. it isn't else really, as well. but in case the light goes out for a while, some driver kills your boot time actively by having some form of idle-wait in it.

 

Hmm, from what I am seeing here, it seems that my 5400RPM Fujitsu isn't really that bad at all...

 

Yeah, SSD are faster than HDD for read/write but there main advantage is the random seek and low access times. However a properly maintained system will have all the boot files defragmented and in chronological order on the disk the the HDD can read them very easy without the need of seek or low access times.

My W90 booted pretty fast, the G73 seems a lot slower. Takes a long time from that first black screen for windows 7 til I see the logo animation and stuff, then a bit longer before the logon prompt.

 

boot time on new systems can have their bottleneck outside of disk speed.

but put some apps into autorun after boot up, and you will see huge gains with the ssd.

 

Was thinking the same My reboot time is around 60 secs. Slow if you ask me, since xp, on a good day, was 40. But meh, i usually just use standby

 

Here's my reboot time:

When I used that little program it gave me a time of 168 seconds.

So I tried it again with a stop watch and it was 50 seconds.

Okay I tried a different one called Boot Racer for W7:

Does the G73 do the *BOOM* REPUBLIC OF GAMERS thing?

Would you mind measuring time from power-button press to Window's Loading Screen?
