How long does it typically take to reformat a SSD? I'm reinstalling Windows on my 240GB PNY SSD and it's taking longer than expected.

It shouldn't take long. How long has it been, and what were you expecting?

set it to quick and it takes a second or two.

 

For a install it depends on the install media speeds normally,  not the drive in the system.
