Question Crucial CT480 BX500 really slow to boot W10

[monnerat]

I have a Sandisk with 240Gb, but then i found a sale price on a Crucial BX500 with 460Gb and i've bought it... After cloning the disk on their tool, i swapped the drives and started the windows on the Crucial SSD, but i've realized it was taking longer than the Sandisk... I thought that after a while it would "settle" and be at least as fast as the Sandisk, but for my sadness it is still really slow, almost like a regular HDD to boot... I've swapped sata cables, sata ports, everything but nothing helped... Please if someone has a solution for this, i beg.

no idea how that gui version works, mine doesnt finish aswell :/
but xbootmgr commandline works, you just have to add more parameters to it so it can record a few more things

xbootmgr –trace boot -traceFlags BASE+LATENCY+DISK_IO_INIT+DISPATCHER+DRIVERS+FILE_IO+FILE_IO_INIT+FILENAME+NETWORKTRACE+PERF_COUNTER+POWER+PRIORITY+REGISTRY -postBootDelay 300 -resultPath C:\Boot_Trace

Thanks for the tip, I will try after work today... This inconsistency with the boot times is driving me nuts and it started after the SSD Swap...

@kerberos_20 i did... but funny enough when i use the xbootmgr it boots below 1 minute... i wasn't able to capture one of the 4 minute-ish boots yet... but look ath the 100% usage on the blue lines, blue line = SSD Crucial, purple line = HDD Seagate

Crazy enough when i try to capture the BOOT, the times are all below 1 minute and when i dont, it goes above and beyond... some of the worst times i got more than 4 minutes!

Funny enough this SSD is always on 100% usage when starting windows... this boot took almost 5 minutes... and the SSD is still 100%...

@kerberos_20 @Bob.B and other friends...
https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/SanDisk-SSD-Plus-240GB-vs-Crucial-BX500-480GB/m25612vsm579817

I made a comparison of the two drivers on the userbenchmark.com and got this... does it justify the difference in boot times?! in the last part there's also a comment saying that if you fill the ssd more than 70% it starts to freeze... maybe that's the problem...

I also found by watching the performance tab on the task manager that THERE the disk would RARELY go above 14MB/s and in the CrystalDisk it shows around 500MB/s... what might be happening?! And all the time it's booting its always at 100% activity on the SSD...

Look at this graph, it barely get 10MB/s... what is wrong? Please help...
