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,

I also cannot now enter my bios.. This firmware update seems far from decent.

It doesn't sound right. Can you list your system spec's? The firmware update sped up my boot time.

The 750 is design to work with Intel's chipset Z97 and X99. Here's a link read thru it.
