Hi guys,
I've been told by someone that my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro boots slowly. It takes about 1:30-1:45 mins to boot up with a normal 5400RPM HDD. Does anyone have an idea of how long it should take?
That person probably has a SSD in their laptop so they are use to the fast speed. It makes a big difference to have one, you will notice the quickness.
I just measured the time my late 2011 MBP (running Mavericks) takes to boot up. It took 37 seconds. My MBP has a normal HDD.
Well that seems odd. I don't have that much startup items. Just four pretty simple programs. I'm gonna give onyx a try and see how that helps. Sadly a 500gb SSD is not really within my budget, so I'm considering either a SSHD or buying a 100gb SSD and replacing the CD drive with it.
37 secs is a big difference from 1:30 mins though. I wonder what causes the difference.
