This particular test case illustrates why so many people find SSDs to be beneficial. Meanwhile, the use of a hard drive pushes the boot time to 43 seconds with a fast CPU and 47 seconds with a slow CPU. The slower CPU clock takes about 21 seconds to finish booting, compared to just under 15 seconds on a fast CPU with SSD.

Unlike Linux, despite being a clean install, Windows greatly benefits from running on an SSD. Since the hard drive is similarly affected with lower than expected read bandwidth, this may mean Windows asks for a lot of smaller files and a bulk of the read time is spent seeking. What’s also interesting is the unexpectedly low read bandwidth.

Windows 7 is similar to Linux, starting with a bulk transfer but then spending time processing and loading up more files over time. Linux Mint and Windows 7 were run from Oracle’s VirtualBox, as there’s no way of measuring this data otherwise.

For games, developers like to clump assets into large files.

While there aren’t any realistic scenarios where you’d move a million files, you can still improve things if you’re stuck with a hard drive. It will transfer the 1GB file in about 10 seconds.
