Mojave Boot Time on non-Apple SSDs?

None of my Mac minis have Apple SSDs. I haven't noticed anything special about booting. However, I rarely reboot. I usuall just leave the machines running. Reboot time is not something I usually care about.

Well, if you don't reboot your Mac mini, then "boot time" doesn't apply to you I think...

Anyone have experience with Mojave and non-Apple SSD? Is it slow to boot when Trim is enabled?

It is slightly faster than High Sierra, but still slower than Sierra.

So far Mojave has been working flawlessly for me, and performance is overall better, and faster, than HS - so even if booting takes a little more time than before, I can live with it.

Do you have a non-Apple SSD installed?

Yes. It's a 250 GB Kingston I bought a while ago. Works perfectly fine, I didn't need a bigger one cause most of my files are on other disks. It's basically just the OS on this disc.

With High Sierra I noticed much slower (re)boot times than Sierra. With Mojave there is an improvement, not by much but still...

Thank you for your reply, what you say means that the "TRIM" bug which High Sierra introduced (that made boot process considerably slower on non-apple SSDs), still isn't solved in Mojave.

Yes, it doesn't appeared to have been solved. Although I read somewhere a while ago that it wasn't really a bug, that the system actually does trim jobs every time the computer starts, which wasn't the case before High Sierra. Why did they choose to do it that way I have no idea. But it's indeed a little better in Mojave.
 
Don't know if I have trim enabled or not. Mojave boot time on my cMP 12-core is 30 seconds from chime using a Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB.
