Ubuntu 13.10 VS Windows 8: Boot Up and Shutdown with a Corsair Force LS 3 SSD
Boot Up and Shutdown times of Ubuntu 13.10 versus Windows 8, using a Corsair Force LS 3 SSD!
As far as I know, trim is not setup in ubuntu 13.10 so that could explain the shutdown time.
Both operating systems were installed on the exact same SSD, and had no applications running when shutting them down.
This video does NOT represent the entire community of Linux or Windows users, and certainly doesn't cover everyone's hardware experiences. This video simply illustrates what I experience with said operating systems and specified hardware.
Your mileage with the exact same setup may vary in the end.
On a last note, both OS's run very nicely on the SSD. I am hoping that Ubuntu 14.04 has even better speeds with SSDs when it gets released though.
