FASTEST BOOT TIME POSSIBLE!

[SxMAC]

My question is simple, how can you get the absolute FASTEST BOOT time POSSIBLE. I remember seeing this video from asus when the pci e raidr SSD came out showing amazing boot times.

 

I'm curious, is the raidr a true pci ssd, I've heard it's just two 120gb SSDs running in raid 0. So really, could I just run a bunch of SSDs in raid 0, and make that my boot device and get a super fast boot time? 

 

Or what about these m.2 SSDs, or I only know the plexor. If I run that as my boot drive will I get a better boot time? I know that's technically a pci SSD but it's really just a m.2 ssd on a pci riser card.

 

OR

 

What about the ocz revo drive, I believe that's what it's called. That really expensive pci SSD. How do all these options compare to each other for boot drives and how can I get the absolute FASTEST BOOT time.

One of these it pretty insane:

3.2TB of storage space, 2.8GB/s (Not Gb/s, GB/s) of read AND write speeds. With a whopping 500,000 IOPS

Or there's the 10.24 TB SSD from Fusion-io with reads over 6GB/s Edited June 23, 2014 by Str_Mape

-Disable password on startup screen (obviously)

-Eliminate as many programs as you can from launching as soon as it boots into Desktop

 

Recipe complete!

Five years ago it was this 

[MrSuperb]

It is less the SSD and more options like "Fast Boot" coming with UEFI and Windows 8/8.1

 

edit: i.e. 6-8 seconds boot can be done with a standard SSD (like a Samsung 840)

hehe , vista hehe

People say it's possible with a samsung 840 i have one.

Running on max speed but my average boot time is still almost 20 seconds with win8 with only amd catalyst on startup.

But this should be possible with a pci ssd or ssd's in raid.

[Si3Rra_7]

I have a 840 evo 250 gb on very recent os install , it takes more time for the shitty mobo to find all drives than windows to boot .so it's like 5 seconds to windows loading logo , 3 seconds to load windows to desktop...

 

It's an old OEM one from asus , cm6630_cm6730_cm6830 h61m pro something like that , the bios is really lacking

[Str_Mape]

This?

 

Yep, the 10TB is 150K in Canada, I don't know any other stores that stock it.

Check for a firmware update in the Magician software. Then use the performance optimization. It helped pick up my boot times by a good bit oddly.

Either way, it's the motherboard/BIOS that has to detect all the hardware and initialise everything first. That's what takes the most time.

It doesn't matter if you have a vertex 2 or a 6GB/s PCI-E ssd, if it takes 10 seconds to get into windows, then 5 seconds for windows to load, it can only get faster by 5 seconds.

A PCI-E ssd may actually be slower for the system to detect since it will be checking the SATA ports to boot from first resulting in slower boot times.

[hojnikb]

RAID ssds will most defenetly boot slower, since raid itself needs to be initialized. A properly tuned (an the right choice of hardware) OS can yield great boot times.

I've got a pretty lowend system, that has a very basic motherboard (only sata2),g2020 and an old m4 64GB -- gets ~10 secons from start to finish. And thats with Win7, winth Win8.1 i could shave a second or two for sure.

Already done that. I'm on max speed and enabled the perfomance thingy.

[IdeaStormer]

Don't turn the computer off.

 

Disable power saving modes so the disks if any don't spin down.

 

Still get a delay from waking the monitor up when it goes into energy saving mode, guess if I disable that I'll get it even faster.

 

<_<

Fewer startup programs. Also, have no PCI-E devices or GPUs, a single SSD, and as little RAM as possible.

 

Also no server motherboard.

It is indeed possible, my laptop boots in 6-7 seconds.  However my Desktop is more like 15 but most of that is my external HDDs slowing it down, If I unplug them it goes a lot faster.

heres my specs

 

asus rampage iv black

i7 4930k

gtx 660ti

kingston hyperx 3k 120gb ssd

WD green 3tb HDD

asus xonar stx sound card

 

just for refrence

 

but yea alot of you are talking about the OCZ drive i menchined in the origional post.

 

but heres the video i spoke of in the origional post too.

is that really a fair compairson??? in the video?? it seems like they set up the raidr with a advantage

[SxMAC]

damnit, i can never post video, here is a link to the videos i was talking about

 

http://youtu.be/USrd8jM1REI

[SxMAC]

here is another video about the raidr

 

http://youtu.be/1a8QEGvzWt4

[SxMAC]

 

last video,it doesent seem like the ocz drive boots too fast

[IdeaStormer]

is that really a fair compairson??? in the video?? it seems like they set up the raidr with a advantage

 

Fair? Is comparing a HHD to an SSD fair?

Is comparing a USB Thumb Drive with OS to HDD fair?

Is a CD/DVD-ROM Live OS compared to a USB Thumb Drive fair?

Is using OS on floppies compared to CD/DVD-ROM Live OS fair?

 

What about battery backed RAM preloaded with OS compared to RAIDR?

 

There is no fair only what is faster.
