I installed 8GB of ram and a new Seagate Momentus non XT hard drive. My boot up time is about 22-24 seconds. Is that good?
 
...

with a standard hdd it will boot in like 35 seconds...with a real SSD more like 12-17 seconds depending on the SSD and how fresh the install is...as you add more programs booting seems to take a little longer (likely due to more processes starting on boot)
 
i used to have the momentus xt as the main drive for the os x and when i put it to sleep , it slept in 3 seconds
but i installed an ssd intel and now i have the momentus as storage drive and now it takes like 15 seconds to sleep . is that normal ?


btw sorry for my crappy english .

Mac OS X normally creates a sleepimage to store the content of the RAM into, in case of battery depletion.
SmartSleep can help set it to something you like and get you sleep times of two seconds.

That is about average for the factory drive as it is considerably slower than the Momentus and eons slower than a SSD.
