[QUOTE="krs, post: 1851032, member: 67742"] I wonder if this can be used as a rough reference about boot times on a Mini. Mine is a basic late 2012 with a 2.5GB i5 processor. With the original spinner drive, 500GB with 66GB free, boot to the blue screen is 80 seconds, at 125 seconds the full desktop has come (and my desktop is extremely busy) - this with El Capitan. Same Mini with an external 500GB SSD boot drive (and 91GB free space, nothing deleted when migrating from El Capitan), boot to blue screen was 50 seconds, at 52 seconds the full desktop has come up. I would think even with an older spinner drive, a full boot should normally not take any longer than 2 1/2 to 3 minutes [/QUOTE]
