Not sure what the standard size for that is, but mine is 32GB.

Mine is 22 GB, windows 10 clean install (in December) from the iso builder.

Are you talking about the time you spend configuring a new computer? It takes days for me, no matter what OS I install.
I like customization a lot. On Linux, I spend that time replicating Windows 7. On Windows, I spend that time installing drivers, QTTabBar, Classic Shell, browsers, foobar2000, sublime, seafile, syncing my folders to the cloud, etc. 05-03-2016, 02:42 PM

I mean starting up
20 minutes from first seeing the windows logo to everything finally being loaded

Wait, every time you reboot? That's really not right. On my 850 Evo, it takes less time to boot than my motherboard does waiting for me to decide if I want to enter setup. On my laptop which has an SSHD, it takes less than a minute.

20 minutes is ridiculous. Something is seriously wrong with that system. A typical 7,200 rpm HDD should boot windows and startup apps in 30-60 seconds typically, and 60-120 seconds for systems with lots of startup apps. SSD systems should be 5-30 seconds depending on the SSD and startup apps. Even my clients that refuse to upgrade from core 2 duo's and 80GB IDE HDD boot in 5 minutes.

I'm talking boot, then usable time. It's up in about 5 minutes.
I have a 5200RPM backup HDD meant to be accessed via USB3, since all of my HDDs broke.

PM me your address and I'll ship you a 5,400 rpm 2.5" or 7,200 rpm 3.5" HDD (depending on whether you have a desktop or laptop). I have tons of spares. Using an external HDD to boot an OS is stupid on a fundamental level. Assuming I'm interpreting that sentence correctly.

I think it was supposed to say that the HDD was ripped out of a USB enclosure and is being accessed via SATA, but isn't the fastest drive as it was selected for a USB interface, so didn't need to be that fast because the bottleneck would be elsewhere.
