I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit on the SSD, but the OS splash screen is slower than usual.. CPU & RAM and HDD:

Intel Core i5-3570K
8GB RAM 1333MHz (2x4 GB)
Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB (I suspect that it's the HDD's fault, since when it exits the splash screen it instantly gets to the Desktop)

It is connected to a SATA 6 Gbps port, has AHCI and TRIM enabled and the OS Optimization is set to Maximum performance
