I was thinking about getting a SSD hard drive but if it still takes 11 seconds then I will wait. Just too slow!
Same computer with a HDD takes about 20, so an SSD shaves just under 50% off the boot time.
The other computer I have which is an AMD FX-8350 (8 cores, 4GHz native, oc'd to 4.6GHz with water cooling) which has a Samsung EVO 850 250G SSD boots right about 7-8 seconds from the time I hit the power button to the point where it's giving me the logon screen, and that's with Windows 8.1.
Here's the config of that machine if you're interested:
AMD FX8350 w/water cooling (4.0GHz Native, OC'd do 4.6)
32GB DDR-3 2133 MT/s
Asus 990FX R2.0
Samsung EVO 850 250G SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA3 6GB HDD (x2)
EVGA 960 Video w/4GB Memory
Corsair 750w modular power supply
Cooler Master tower case
Qty: 4 72cfm cooling fans (Front, Top, Side, Rear)
Believe it or not, this thing is actually quite quiet. The cooling fans installed are all sealed bearing and make very little discernable noise that I can hear. The fan for the water cooler actually makes the most noise.
