OS X - Slow Boot Up With Intel X25-M SSD
I’ve got two brand spanking new MacBook Pros. One is an Core i7 and the other a Core i5 which I was experiencing slow boot up times with.
The i7 is blazingly fast and boots my Intel X25-M 160 GB SSD in around 20 seconds from pressing the power.
The i5 (2.53 Ghz) however with the same SSD was booting in 50-60 seconds. Enough time to go make coffee, read the paper and build a house. Unacceptable to say the least.
Various solutions online suggest re-installing Snow Leopard but what worked for me was resetting the PRAM. After I did that it boots like normal (~25 seconds).
Obviously the problem isn’t with the specific SSD but the fact that the PRAM is in a bad state of some sort.

I know this is old, but… If the SSD came with your mac I would be concerned… as it’s a hard drive, I would expect that you would have to reset the PRAM to enable the proper settings.
Trim support won’t be added ’till 10.7 though.
