oh my god!!! this is is a shock for me!

I have a macbook pro that I bought in summer 2008 and it has a 200GB HDD with 7200 rpm. It booted (when it was new and empty) in and I have a video of it booting in 25,4 seconds!!-

now (i have bootcamp installed and my HD is completely full) it boots up in 40-43 seconds!

I'm not gonna buy a SSD! and PS: I love my "older" but wiser macbook pro - and it's even better (except graphics and ram) than the new standard model! I've got 2.6 ghz C2d!

Muhahahaha

Honussa: you have a good point here! It seems that older Macbook Pros boot a lot faster than these new models. There is a video where older MBP (OSX 10.5) is booted from 128 GB SSD in 16 seconds. I don't know why newer MBPs are slower to boot. Maybe the new display drivers take more time to load? Late 2008 MBPs boot from HDD 7200 in about 30-40 seconds, depending on the configuration. New MBP with HDD 5400 takes approximately 45-50 seconds to boot.

Hi! I have recently changed my harddrive from the original 200gb 7200rpm drive to a western digital 5400rpm drive with 640 (!)gb. It is quite interesting because it is much faster than the original one: it boots up windows Xp in 32 seconds and Mac os (having copied all data from the old HDD to the new one= no clean install) in 30-35 seconds! So I am confused. I think that I will stick to HDDS because 640gb and a speed like that is sufficient for me. Anyway, 5400RPM!!

ja minä en vaan tajua mitä ihmeellistä wintoosissa on??? Mun makuun mac on toimivampi. Jos tykkää pelailla pelejä ym niin varmaan pc:n valikoima vie voiton, mutta muunlainen työnteko sun muu sähellys tietokoneella on mun mielestä paljon mukavampaa macilla. Siltikin, kyse on makuasiasta.. Minulla henk. koht. on levollisempi olo, kun olen tallentanut asiani macille, kuin jos ne olisivat winukalle tallennettu. Macin toimivuus ja varmuus ovat suurta plussaa minusta
