Lenovo ThinkPad T Series T420 Speedy Boot Time with Crucial M4 (SSD)

Lenovo ThinkPad T Series T420 Speedy Boot Time with Crucial M4 (SSD) Tube. Duration : 0.53 Mins.


It takes about 30 seconds from when I press the power on button to when the Windows loading icon stops spinning. This is a clean install of Windows 7 with all Lenovo drivers installed, UEFI boot, AHCI mode and RapidBoot installed. It was installed from a stock copy of Windows 7 and thus does not have Lenovo EE 2.0 installed. The specs are below but for the HDD being changed to a Crucial M4 64GB SSD. The Windows 7 splash screen has also been removed. There seems to be quite a delay from when the splash screen finishes loading (indicated in the video by when the screen switches off) to when the Welcome screen loads. If anyone knows how to reduce this delay please post in the comments :).
