Why is my SSD boot up time slow?

FineVisionz - You have an older AMD motherboard that does not properly support a modern 3rd generation SATA 3 6Gb/s solid state drive. Your motherboard only supports SATA 2 3Gb/s ssd's. Luckily SATA 3 6Gb/s ssd's are backwards compatible but performance is reduced.

There is a tendency to forget about motherboards and their components. It is usually the controller, chipset, and SATA connection that reduce the performance of modern SATA 3 drives. That's why the new SATA 3.2 standard was developed. The new standard includes provisions for PCIe and M.2 NGFF ssd's that use PCIe channels to transmit and receive data instead of a SATA connection.
 


Can you please recommend any M.2 NGFF SSD for my Formula VI
 
FineVisionz - I would not recommend buying a new motherboard because it would probably also require buying a new cpu. I want to do a little research into the matter. There are a few other things that you might be able to do. I will post a more detailed answer tomorrow morning. What do you do with your computer? Do you use it for gaming or do you do professional work? If you do professional work, what kind of work do you do?

EasyLover - We have a bit of a problem with M.2 NGFF connections on motherboards and with M.2 NGFF ssd's. The problem is the number of PCIE channels or lanes that are used to transmit and receive data. Not all motherboards and not all M.2 ssd's use the same number of channels or lanes. For example the fastest M.2 ssd is the Samsung XP941 mainly because it uses 4 PCIe channels to transmit and receive data while other M.2 ssd's use only 2 channels. In addition availability is severely limited to just a few Samsung retailers and the drive is very very expensive. As of last month there was only one Asus gaming motherboard with an M.2 connection that actually used 4 PCIe channels. There were no other motherboards that could properly support the XP941. Temporarily consumers will have to settle for just 2 PCIe channels. That will change in the future.

I maintain the ssd database listed in a sticky at the top of this forum section. Here is the link:

The database is divided by brand and each brand is divided by type of ssd. You'll notice there aren't very many PCIe and M.2 ssd's. However, you can follow the links to the technical reviews.

Yes, your assumption is correct please. This mobo comes with mPCIe Combom Card.
 


Very comprehensive work indeed. Thanks a lot for sharing.
