Holy hell, an entire minute on an SSD? It should be booting FAR faster than that.....
Even on my old worn HDD from 2006 my boot (that is, from POST beep to a useable desktop) never takes more than ~40-50 seconds or so, sometimes up to two minutes but usually less:
For the record, everyone, you can get your boot times here:
its because of my new raid controller, after windows loads up the motherboard bios it has to go through the raid controller bios loading screen. I have 2 bioses to go through, also have 11 hard drives 1 ssd in there so it has to detect all that. Without raid controller and all those hard drives i get 26 seconds. timed from when i press power button to a usable desktop.
edit, there is the extra bios i have to go through:
Windows 8 boot-time was significantly decreased compared to that of Windows 7.
That is because windows 8 does not have a boot time. It goes into a sort of hibernation/hybrid sleep rather than fully shutting down when you hit "shut down".
My boot time is between 60-100 seconds. (don't know why it varies so much)
It doesn't really matter because i turn my PC on then go off to do other things.

I'm getting ~100 second boot times since I got my new CPU and motherboard, but I had ~50-70 second boots on my old parts. I don't see how a CPU and motherboard would make too much of a difference, seeing as boot times are largely dependent on storage speeds.
could be the new motherboard bios that takes longer to test components, detect drives etc.
Haven't taken a count, but it definitely boots in less than a minute using Windows 8 on an old stock Hitachi Deskstar 320GB 7200rpm. Once the dual-boot select screen comes up, I select Windows 8 and it takes me straight to the login.

However a Windows Resume boot I get 30 seconds. It is always nice to boot that way because it just gives me the warm fuzzy's. lol
