raid 0 increase overall speed once booted but I think it might need to load drivers before loading reducing speed.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

Ok what do we mean by Boot time? From power on to desktop/StartScreen? Or from BIOS finished doing it's thing and starts the OS to desktop?

If I exclude the GPU boot process (time when you hit the power button, and something appears on the screen), and the BIOS, Windows start process to desktop takes 11secs on my desktop. And 16sec on my laptop.

Desktop:

-> Core i7 930 2.8GHz

-> 6GB of RAM 1600MHz Triple channel DDR3

-> Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5

-> GeForce GTX 260

-> Corsair Vertex 4 256GB

-> Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM

-> Windows 8 Pro 64-bit with Media Center

Laptop:

-> Dell Latitude E6400

-> Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M 256MB

-> Core 2 Duo P8400 2.2GHz

-> 4GB of RAM 800MHz DDR2

-> Corsair Force GT 120GB

-> Windows 8 Pro 64-bit with Media Center
