Hello. I'm curious to know if my boot time of 15-16seconds on my g752vy is normal? I did a fresh uefi install on it. Sure it was faster than a hdd, but I heard others had gotten 8s. I still think 15s is too long for an ssd of this caliber and price. Any thoughts/remedies?
Thanks

Cold boottime: 56 seconds, sometimes more. Depends on ..... ? RAID loading taking time, drivers loading, software that is installed, etc. etc.

I have also been told that Samsung NVMe driver is better than the native Windows driver if that is what you have.

First thing is get to BIOS 213. 15-18 seconds is on par with anything before. Pretty sure that in and of itself will shorten your boot time, no other intervention needed.
Samsung drivers have ZERO advantage over the native windows NVMe drivers. Read around in the threads, particularly the one where BIOS 213 first came out. This has been proven multiple times. The samsung drivers also only work on consumer SSDs. They are not installed from the factory because they dont work on Samsung OEM drives. Same goes for the magician software.
My Config
G752VY BIOS 213
2x512GB 950 pros in RAID0

No Samsung software period, no magician or drivers.
Fast boot disabled both in BIOS and Windows. Fast boot causes more problems than anything else as your machine never does a full shut down. Its more of a hybrid hibernate. Dumps the contents of your memory to hiberfil.sys file then resumes from that. I don't like writing that much data to my SSDs repeatedly. Only shortens the lifespan with unnecessary writes.
Cold boot 10 seconds. I've heard stories of 8 seconds, 6 seconds etc. Ill but the 8 seconds on maybe but call Bull Sheet on 6 seconds.
You don't want Samsung rapid mode. It actually gives worse performance than leaving it as is. All it does is a hybrid ram drive and looks really good when doing benchmarks with small write clusters. Make the clusters bigger and it tanks hard. The performance will spike until the buffer is full then straight into the toilet.
