HDD vs SSD booting Windows 7

[petelebu]

not impressed, i use a 1tb 7000 rpm drive and windows loads very fast, not as fast as the sdd but not much slower either, oh and i paid 140 for 1TB!

[qbert1345]

or even a load from memory on the SSD?

[qbert1345]

do you always loose firmware options after bios when using SSD like shown in the video or is your SSD resuming and the HDD is doing a full boot? either way that's either a bad comparison even if SSD is faster that would be an added "con" to lose that, on some systems, plus the cost per MB :( only basic "pro's" i can come up with are dropping a laptop and faster, semi safer backups (if you don't consider disk recovery compared to the ease of recovery on an HDD) just an observation, any thots?

How much can you hold data wise On your SSD

[Snejkuu]

I have 2gb ram, <3ghz pretty shitty HDD and my windows 7 loads up faster than your SDD ;<

[IRoflWaffleI]

@Snejkuu and everyone knows that is absolute bullshit

[peet88ember]

@IRoflWaffleI you're wrong babe!

[Xenoni]

yea it's blazing fast , but does that justify the price tag SSDs have with their low capacity !? ....... I hope they get cheaper soon ,......

[MrFEARinHD]

how do i appoint a drive to boot-up like I have a ssd and a HDD

[nosuchsing]

@MrFEARinHD

you access BIOS and select drive boot priority, you should select SSD, HDD and a DVD drive if you have one in that order. You should of loaded OS into SSD, you always need to boot drive with OS first.

[PikolUploader]

not a destroying difference. ill stick to normal HDD for now.

[OddFacade]

I hit the thumbs-up button only because that music is friggin' snaaaaaaaaaaaappy. :3

[john0022]

Are there any tricks or tip that you guys are using to get low 20 second boot times?

[sonicdk]

@john0022 Well, no real tricks actually. I just removed all crap I didn't use from the startup (via ccleaner, or msconfig), and turned the IDE controller off in the bios, since I don't have any IDE devices connected. That's basically it.

[bobymother12]

what are your computer specs?

[romrayla]

What if you have an SSD as your boot device and HDD as your main storage device. I'm planning to have a 8GB or 16GB SSD as my boot drive, and a 1.5 TB HDD as my storage drive. With that said, will the Defragmentation, Superfetch, and Write Caching be disabled on not only the SSD, but also on the HDD? A response and a reference article is well appreciated. :)

[TheChrisJohnny]

@romrayla I recently set up my system similar to what you describe, with a 60GB SSD for my OS & Apps and a 1TB drive for other data. As far as I have been able to determine, the settings you mention are all global for the OS and can't be configured on a per-drive basis. (please someone prove me wrong) Although you could set up a scheduled defrag task to run on your HDD every now and then.

16GB seems awful small for a windows OS install. I installed Win7 Ultimate and it occupied roughly 30GB.

[romrayla]

@TheChrisJohnny Thanks. Guess I'll get a larger boot drive then. Didn't know Win 7 can occupy so much. And I consume a lot of drive space for games, raw videos, and stuff, so I need a separate 1.5TB HDD (looking to upgrade soon). They said that though Win 7 will load fast, since the SSD is configured as the boot drive, anything else that's not in the SSD will load at normal speeds.

Your call is 27th in the queue, please hold, your call is important to us. La la la lalala.

[sbrideau2000]

Obvious fake is obvious

[TheAuchamp1]

@sbrideau2000 fake ? LMAO

[sbrideau2000]

@TheAuchamp1 May it be a SSD or not, the motherboard post will last the same length of time. Here on the video, he cut part of the motherboard screen. Nothing tells us he put a faster time on the other as well.

[sonicdk]

@sbrideau2000 Read the describtion ;)

[sbrideau2000]

@sonicdk I'm on a Sata DVD burner as well and it didn't change the Post time lol

[sonicdk]

@sbrideau2000 Maybe you did it wrong? Maybe you didn't completely turn off your IDE stuff in your bios? Maybe it's different hardware doing things differently? If I cared enough I could post you a boottimer video as proof, but I don't really care if you believe this or not, so why bother :)

[sbrideau2000]

@sonicdk I built my own computer, so I did do it. But yeah, let's stop this.

[sonicdk]

@sbrideau2000 It's ok. :) Because of my wondering I was doing a recording of my few months old systems bios post with a windows boot timer. Watch the result here: youtube.com/watch?v=YTFBo7_wpu­8 ... same if not quicker bios post. So it is doable :)

[jeenormus]

MARIO V SSD lol

[Fardus1]
