SSD for Faster boot

Lritchie · Sep 7, 2014

Hi building my own PC and was wondering should I purchase an SSD?

Was just wonder what are the benefits of this, will boot up be much faster?

Will windows be installed to this device for faster start up?

What is the best way to get fast boot up time?

Thanks

Yes, Windows will load much faster from an SSD (compared to an HDD).
Applications or games installed on an SSD will also load much faster (compared to an HDD).

Windows will be installed to whichever drive/partition you choose during Windows Setup.

Though if you're short on budget, leave it out for now and add one later.

Whats size and brand should I go for, have a 1TB hard drive as well can I still use it and save programs that I use daily on the ssd?

MX100 is a decent budget option, the 128 GB version should be big enough.

The EVO is a bit faster.

Is the Pro much faster?

Not enough to justify the price.
Here are benchmarks for all 3:

SSDs boot fast. Mine is an older one, but it takes me about 6 seconds to boot from a cold start.
