SSD for fast boot up time

[Lritchie]

Does any one know the best setting in order to make ssd run at its fastest both at boot up and when in use

Thanks

Make sure that you enable AHCI mode(should be done before installing windows), as well as any fast boot specific settings in the BIOS

its taking round 24 seconds to boot? from ssd evo 840?

Not sure if I have enabled AHCI?


Thanks

Dont try enable AHCI, its difficult to do after installing windows.

What other parts do you have?

 

[Lritchie]

Asus z97- A
i5 4960k
1TB HDD
120GB samsung evo 840 SDD
XFX 750w

Is this a slow Boot time?

If you have samsung 840 evo then go to samsung website and download samsung magician app. From it you can optimize your pc settings to work for 840 evo and also it will tell you if AHCI is enabled or not.

 

[Lritchie]

have CD

If its not installed?

 

[bradsctt]

That is a bit slow.
Make sure fast boot is enabled, it may help a bit.

Magician doesn't do a huge amount, Windows built in TRIM system will take care of most optimization.

Should I maybe reinstall windows?

New setup not much on the system

 

[siddharth gupta]

I will recommend downloading the app from samsung website not from CD as CD version can be outdated.

 

[Lritchie]

yes ACHI is on

 

[siddharth gupta]

Yeah I also know it won't do huge amount but as he said he don't know if he has enabled AHCI or not and he don't know how to do it. That's why I referred him the app.

 

[siddharth gupta]

Don't jump to conclusions and try reinstalling windows. First try to find where the problem is.

 

[Lritchie]

ok Thanks

 

[Lritchie]

I have enabled fast boot in the bios and also ACHI is on.

I have the Asus z97-A does this have the UFEI?

Cant figure this out

 

[bradsctt]

Yes it has UEFI, but in order to fully take advantage of it you will probably have to reinstall windows.
