I just built an i5-2500K system using a Plextor 64GB SSD for a Win7 OS. There's one spinner Samsung 1TB, 7200rpm HDD for my data drive D :. I power off the PC every night and turn the power strip off also.
After booting up the next day, the first time I open the D : spinner, there's about a 4 second delay before the root folder opens. During the 4 second delay on the first open of the spinner, I see the disk activity LED flashing like mad.
This never happened with any of my previous systems which only used spinners for OS and data drives. (WinXP and Vista OS) They all opened the data drive within .5 seconds even on the very first open after a power on boot.
P8H67-V mobo
i5-2500K CPU, not overclocked
8 GB dual channel RAM
Plextor 64GB SSD for system drive on a SATA 3 mobo header.
Samsung 1TB, 7200rpm data drive on a SATA 2 mobo header.
Any ideas?
