So I just built my new studio PC and installed windows, cubase, etc... I decided to splurge on an SSD just for my operating system and main programs.... and maybe my expectations were too high, but it doesn't seem all that faster to me? I was expecting to hit the power button and be in windows in like under 10 seconds. it still takes like 20 or so.
Solid state drives - overrated?

It's one of those things that you won't really notice unless you have to go back to a hdd or directly compare it, as above.

well it's a lot faster believe me.
Before it took me 2 minutes to load windows 7, now with a SSD 1 minute, maybe even less and I'm ready to go

You have a slow system man.
My registry is f-ing cluttered at the moment, and it still doesn't take me more then about 30-50 seconds to boot.
(Note: I'm running windows of a 7200rpm 500gb Seagate Barracuda.. the entire system was built late 2007/early 2008, cant quite remember.)

I guess porn has fucked up my system lol
Maybe I exaggerated a bit!
I have to check with my watch and see how much it takes lol
EDIT: 35 seconds!
I got a noticeable improvement with a SSD. I know there are some differences between brands and generations, though. Here's the one I used.

that's exactly the one I got haha. I don't know. I guess it's pretty fast... definitely not mindblowing though.
I believe the biggest bottleneck on booting is the old ass bios that computers still use. There´s a much faster technology to replace that for quite a while, but they´re still holding it.
I don´t have a SSD drive yet : (

We should be getting a couple of these in the lab soon. Can't wait.
