Samsung 840 EVO Issues - slow boot time

flappyone · Jun 7, 2015

Can you please provide a screenshot of crystal disk info: http://crystalmark.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskInfo
Expand the windows so it shows all raw data.

Do you have the latest Magician? 4.6:

In that you may try to run the "Performance Optimization". But please, do not use any "OS Optimization" provided by magician.

Sorry for the late response guys..

I fixed the issue by reinstalling windows... FInally got around to doing it.

Boot times are now 9-13 seconds total.

Previously they were upwards of 45 seconds.

Have you tried secure erasing the ssd using parted magic and then apply/overwrite the newest firmware and continue to install windows otherwise 840 evo will slow down again because of the smaller components(Flash Chips) measuring 14-16nm. Just google it and you'll find technical answer to your problem in Overclockers Club.

Windows 7 reinstall fixed all issues.

Yeah by re-installing you are rewriting whole data on the drive and after some days/months you'll come into this same problem again.

It's not a big deal. Windows isn't even installed on that drive anymore anyway. Only games will be now

Just install games that you play everyday or most of the time to avoid random slowness of your drive.

Just a note as to why a reinstall would fix such an issue -- According to the OP, the issue was boot hanging after the boot logo, which is when services begin to load. There was likely a service hanging up at that point in boot, causing the slowed boot process. It was likely nothing to do with the SSD in the first place. If you run antivirus software or multiple antiviruses, I'd expect to see this sort of behavior.

SSD tech is broken from the get go with this stupid TRIM that never works as it should and the fact that all SSD's eventually become dirty and slow.

I've had the same issue, something with direct x or .net was causing me to take about 1min to get to the desktop, then about 15 seconds to actually load everything up. The only thing that actually fixed this issue for me was to go to windows 7
