Lenovo T400 booting Windows 7 on a Intel 80GB SSD

[haha48]

Wow thats slow my rig gets it up in 20 s and thats with out the ssd.. sure its like way faster desktop but.. the ssd didnt seem to make much diffrence in that computer..

How much of that speed is due to the SolidStateDrive? 90% of it I'd venture a guess.

Memory is another big factor for boot up times, so I won't say 90% just for the hard drive.

@mastrogel RAM is basically an SSD, it is essentially a volatile storage rather than the SSDs ability to be non-volatile and store data without the constant need for power.

I had 7 running on 7200rpm HDD and then switched over to a cheap ebay ocz 120GB solid SSD. The boot time went from about 38s down to 29s on a non-clean install. The ssd really starts to make a difference when you start opening up programs. MS word goes from 10s opening time to less then 1s!
