Has anyone measured the boot time on their new 21.5" iMac with an HDD? I'd like to measure mine when it gets here and see kind of time I'm saving with the Fusion drive.
Got a tip for us?

Yes.. It's fine with me. I have a MacBook Pro with ssd that boots much faster. I was thinking I couldn't live without Fusion drive in this iMac but honestly for what I do it works great
My 2008 MBP takes several minutes. I'm surprised the new iMacs are still 45 seconds though. I expected faster.
Also, I didn't know any of the Fusion Drive models had already shipped.
Thanks for the data points. If I can really save 30 seconds each time it boots up, that's nice.

Hate to keep bringing it up, but the standard 5400 RPM drive is pretty slow. Really a shame you have to pay another $450 to get a decent performing drive on the 21.5" iMac.
