From what I have heard, a SSD on a decent system should be able to boot in under 20 seconds, most people getting to the desk top in about 12 on a cold boot. I am at exactly 35 seconds to desktop.
My operating system is installed on the Vertex 4. I have enabled AHCI, disabled other boot options and have made sure the Vertex 4 is at the top of the boot order. I do not believe my BIOS have a quiet/quick boot option, at least I haven't found it. My BIOS were recently updated.

It appears my SSDs are not performing to their potential, each one being rated at around 500mbs read/write
