Then i noticed...
SSD: Samsung 850 PRO 120gb for OS [2 second boot time in RAID]
Is that even possible...i mean he lies all the time, like this pc, just went to his house recently and still has his old pc with that gt 630...but anyway is the 2 second boot even possible...i believe it wont tho.

yeah thats very possible if he put in in RAID 0

This is due to RAID 0 data stripping property. it splits the workload between 2 ssd thus giving a sequential increase in read and write times.

That is roughly what my OS takes to boot past the BIOS on my SSD (full boot, not a resume or wake event).

A SSD will be the single most performance enhancing upgrade you can do to a PC in terms of usability and responsiveness.

glitchmaster0001 :

he only 'has' 1 ssd tho

GuardianFromSteam :

then i think he could be lying about the RAID setup in order to do RAID you need AT LEAST 2 identical drives. now if he decided to do RAID 0 with the HDD and SSD he would lose almost 3TB of space on the HDD since its running in RAID which doesnt make any sense

BrandonYoung :

my friend 'JUST' said that its when right when he pushes the power button. to the login screen, in 2 secs...

BrandonYoung · Nov 3, 2015

Its possible that he is in a "soft-off" state, and not fully off, restoring from a rested state is insanely quicker than booting from a full off state.

My BIOS takes longer than 2 seconds to complete, but then again I'm running a descent amount of drives, some of them are driven by a secondary SATA controller. I also don't use "quick bios" or "quick boot" features.

If I suspend my computer, or put it to sleep, its ready before my monitors can wakeup.

Either way, he's not really that far off concerning SSD performance.

James Mason · Nov 3, 2015

If he does a Ctrl + Click on the Restart button the computer will actually do a Full Restart. This will take longer to boot from.

But waking from a suspended state can easily be done in 2 seconds with an SSD. And there normally isn't any specific need to do a full restart.
