I rently bought a Samsung 840 pro 128gb SSD for my OS and a couple games i play often and a new Seagate 2TB HDD for storage.
i had a Toshiba 1TB that was just horrible (quality) and my boot times were around 20 seconds. but now with a new install of windows on the SSD and just 1 game on it my boot times are at least a minute long. When i boot/restart it boots normal until i get the windows logo loading screen. My screen goes black for like 30 seconds, then my mouse appears, and 30 seconds later my login screen appears and it runs smooth. WIndows installed in under 10 minutes and gave me hope cause it was so much faster than my old HDD. but now its just slow and making me want my HDD back.
Ive gone into the BIOS and set the SSD as first on booting (did that before i installed windows). I have all the current drivers on everything. any help would be appreciated. Heres my PC build if you need to see components.
