Wester Digital Caviar Black 500 GB vs. Intel X25-M G2 160 GB SSD booting Windows 7.

The reason my PC boots faster through the BIOS post is, that I switched my IDE DVD drive out with a SATA DVD drive, and turned IDE completely off in BIOS. Other than that, the system is equal in both video clips used.

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

  • @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.

  • 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!

  • @IRoflWaffleI you're wrong babe!

  • or even a load from memory on the SSD?

  • 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

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

  • 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

    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.

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