[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1123091, member: 24160"] 70 seconds does not seem right on any Mac. Are you getting any slow downs / pauses while using the machine? I'd also be dumping all the startup items. You can't get a real feel with this issue without doing so. Although, a big difference in boot time is definitely just the difference between the 5400 & 7200 rpm drives. When I changed out my stock 5400 for the WD black 7200, I did a SuperDuper! clone to the drive. So we're talking about identical setups and startup items. Boot time on the stock at that time was just under 50 seconds, put in the new drive, boot time was under 30 seconds. [/QUOTE]
