M.2 drive booting up slowly

[danthamannn1026]

My m.2 drive boots up in 30 seconds. Why?
I have a 512GB Intel SSD 600p 1800 read 560 write.

Assuming there's not a problem with the SSD itself, it's probably software related. Drivers taking a long time to load and what not. Is this a fresh Windows install?

do you have any programs set to automatically start up upon boot? If you do, then disable those and then see how long it takes too boot.

Brand new windows 10 install. I have a evga gtx 1080, I7 6800k 3.4ghz, 16GB 2800mhz ddr4, gigabyte x99 ultra gaming motherboard, and the 512GB Intel SSD 600p 1800 read 560 write.

I would think this disc would boot faster than 30 seconds.

it might just be that that is as fast as thr drive can boot then. Can you benchmark the drive to determine the read and write speeds?

When you say 30 seconds, are you referring to starting the timer as soon as you hit the power button? The SSD doesn't come in to play into you see the Windows logo. From that point is expect around or under 10 seconds but before that part it totally depends in your boot settings and bios

what kind of motherboard do you have? What kind of bios does it have? the SSD has no control over the speed of the system BIOS as for that is located on another ROM chip on your motherboard.

Right when the power button is hit. Once the windows loading dial comes on its almost instant, maybe under 3 seconds.

Gigabyte x99 Ultra Gaming, as for the bios, I'm not sure.

Are you using the SSD in a sata or a pcie slot?

There are a number of BIOS settings that can impact the boot time. There is a "splash screen" that takes up a few seconds. The POST, mostly testing RAM, can sometimes be set to quick or long. The boot order may have it looking for non-existent devices before finding your M.2 drive. I have also seen boot delays to allow devices to finish initializing before the computer tries to access them.

All things to check.

Ill have to check these out.

can you go into bios and see if you have quick booting enabled?

Sorry for taking awhile, been working a lot lately. I went into the bios and found that my blue ray drive was set to boot before my SSD. I've switched that and also enabled ultra fast boot. I'm still sitting in at about 10-15 seconds. So I benchmarked my SSD, Its rated at 1800MB/second but benchmarked at 900, Still at 900, you would think it would be faster then 10-15 seconds.
