We all know SSD are faster than our traditional Hard-disk and I wanted to try out how fast can we boot up the Dev preview of Windows 8 with a SSD as Windows 8 is optimized for SSD.
For this test I used the Kingston HyperX SSD and clean installed Windows 8 developer preview on the same and you can see the results of the same in the video listed below.

my HDD takes only about 8 sec to load the windows 8 some time 6 sec. I think you are running with dual boot configuration . try to install only winodws 8 in the ssd and no other os. before you measure the boot time do not restart pc then starting the stop watch while booting windows 8 instead of that completely shutdown your pc then start your pc by pressing physical power button .
@extremedanush: Wow looks like you got an amazing HDD, I did install it clean on the SSD formatted it and installed it no other OS in on the SSD…….. I did time it after a complete restart I just cut of the BIOS screens in the video……… will again test it from a cold boot and update if I find any improvements.

Just Google “windows 8 developer preview download” or something like that and you should find it. I don’t think it’s even beta yet though, just a developer preview so don’t expect too much yet.
Thanks for the video Ranjit, interesting as always

Mine boots in 8 seconds, and I have a old SATA 1 HDD :/ I don’t get how that’s possible.
(I have a Kingston HyperX SSD, but I had to RMA it due to slow write speeds, therefore I’m stuck with my old HDD for some weeks)

you have no idea how many people press restart to test boot time, why the hell is everyone doing this? physically press the power button for christ sake
Took me 30 second to see this comment…
my pc does it faster. and i have a normal HDD in it
It clearly said it was a developers preview.
what you mean? i got the windows 8 Pro on my pc pre activated edition. and it still starts up under 5 seconds. so yeah windows 8 is just good with booting up. imagain if i got a SSD drive it will boot up in 2 seconds
