3D Mark uses semi-sythetic real world loads to benchmark disks.

Here's mine from this morning:

That is a PCI-E Gen 4 Mv.2 drive on a Crosshair Hero 8

My PC boots in half the time with a M.2 SSD.
I have a 12600k, 20GB DRAM and it compiles hundreds of thousands of lines of code in a couple of seconds.

Sure, but once we got rid of Classic MacOS and Windows 95/98 we boot PCs once every couple of months, so who cares about boot times?

That's the part I had no idea about. Does it actually do this?

Used to, on spinny rust drives over a decade ago, when seek times were measured in milliseconds.  Haven't tested it since.

Yep.  Right up until the tripled the cost of electric here.

Then all (4 PCs) those 5-10W of sleep power had to go.  They now all get shut down.  Except the linux server.

At the moment, it takes my monitors longer to wake up to the new signal than it does for windows to boot.  I might see BIOS, then the monitor goes into it's black screen while EUFI enables the framebuffer to show the spinner screen with windows logo, however I rarely see it because the PC boots to the login screen faster than the monitor reconnects to the framebuffer.... especially as windows resets it again before displaying the login screen.
