Why is the Intel 750 Slow to boot?

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,

Hello rajnikant,

Looking at the text capture, It seems you may have entered the command using the Em dash "–", and the isdct commands require En dash "-".

This may be the reason for the message: Syntax Error: Invalid command. Error at or around '–intelssd'.

For more information about ISCDT, you can review the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloads/eula/23931/Intel-Solid-State-Drive-Data-Center-Tool?httpD... Intel® SSD Data Center Tool 2.3.x User Guide.
