Hi Art, I have a 120 Gb SSD I'm using as a boot disk. Boot up time is 1:06 every time. If I had a new i7-2600K that was overclocked, it could be quite a bit faster. But 10 seconds from off to ready? I wonder how that happens.

It's got a pair of 2TB hard disks and more interestingly, a solid state hard disk that he has set up to be the boot disk. From a switched-off machine to the whole OS loaded and ready to go, elapsed time 10 seconds! Not quite "instant-on" but pretty darned close. I don't have any SSHDs but I do have a couple of 16GB memory sticks. Has anyone set up one of those to be the boot disk? And if so, what was the bootup time? -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 Prediction is difficult, especially of the future. -- Werner Heisenberg _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
