Less than a month ago I got myself my very first SSD. I choose to purchase a OWC Mercury Electra 6g 240 GB drive due to me having great customer support experience on previous purchases.I migrated all my data from a TM backup to the new drive and have managed to get a under 10 second boot up for this machine and around 20 seconds to shut down completely. Are these numbers as expected for a SSD equip MBP running OS X 10.8.4?
Got a tip for us?

How long does it take to boot up & shut down your machine with a SSD?

Yes that makes me remember that once OSX was quick at shutting down. When I got it and it still had an HDD and SL with shut down of only a couple seconds.
Never been since. Long I thought it was only because of updates and the infrequent shut downs I ever did. But when I think about it I never got fast shut downs and I do quick often reboot when there have been no updates.
No Idea what it is but it is normal.

Oh thank goodness. I was worried there for a second because it just stroke me as not as fast as I expected.
This is interesting.
But isn't this the MBP that comes by default with SSDs?
