Windows 8 boot with MBR and GPT comparison – The Engineering of Conscious Experience

lotharz0r

Two Kingston HyperX 3k SSD disks in Raid0 with Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
I compare the boot time between a MBR and GPT partition table.
Same computer in both videos.

Kingston HyperX 3K SSD
ASUS P8Z77-V PRO
Intel Core i7-3770
16GB Kingston ram
