Why is the Intel 750 Slow to boot?

[RLaBa1]

Howdy Everyone. Just picked up the Intel 750 1.2TB SSD card. Installed it on my X99 Asus Rampage V board and installed Windows 7 X64 without a problem. However, I am seeing a boot performance issue. This drive is taking about 25 seconds to boot, approximately 13 seconds longer than my Samsung 850 EVO. Did a little Googling on this and apparently, I am not the only one. I have read several reviews and the ones that measure boot time / performance will say this is the slowest SSD to boot. I have provided the link below as an example.

Intel - Is this going to be fixed in a future firmware release? I wont be able to justify keeping this card if first generation SSD's still outperform in terms of booting.

Thanks,

Airbrushkid as Jonathan said you need to navigate to the folder where isdct is installed, so when you are in C:\Windows\System32 type the following command: cd \isdct

Then you can follow the rest of what has been written above, and yes, those pictures are from Windows 10, where they added the convenient ability of opening a command prompt in a specific folder.

Thank you for that. I did the update and then rebooted. But windows wouldn't load! I had to do a start up repair from my USB thumb drive. Got computer back and running. I went into Intel SSD Toolbox. It show the firmware was updated. But yes but. Drive Health and Estimated Life Remaining show nothing. Why?

Hello Airbrushkid,

It is good to know you were able to update the firmware. Please make sure you are using the current version of https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/18455/Intel-Solid-State-Drive-Toolbox Intel® SSD Toolbox, version 3.3.1 contains corrections for the Health reporting of NVMe* drives.

Good morning, Jonathan! Still, it's a very interesting question why initializing PCI-E devices takes longer than SATA? Is PCI-E should not be closer to the CPU and activated faster than SATA?

I remember was RAIDR Express PCIe SSD in a release said that uefi mode, it must be initialized on a par with the HDD, perform run faster. It's just a publicity stunt?

https://www.asus.com/ru/Optical-Drives-Storage/RAIDR_Express_PCIe_SSD/ https://www.asus.com/ru/Optical-Drives-Storage/RAIDR_Express_PCIe_SSD/ Or SATA really starts to take place earlier than the initialization of PCI-E devices.

But what is most interesting or when Intel does not result in a graph indicates the improvement of))).
