I just put together a NUC 847 Celeron running Openelec from a 16gb flash drive. It runs fine, but it seems to boot up slow. Will a 32gb SSD be substantially faster booting up than the flash drive?
Other than what I perceive as a slow boot, the NUC 847 runs movies great.
Thanks.

I'm running the Intel version of OE. I'll try it on another thumb drive to test.
Thanks.

On SSD it's between 14-17 seconds on Celeron NUC running oE with fast boot enabled.

Over a minute seems really slow for something with no moving parts. IT could be just a cheapy flash drive. You can download speed testing software free, like Crystal Disk Mark. That would at least confirm it for you.
But ya, try a different drive. I am running an SSD and that boots is probably 25 seconds using ubuntu+xbmc. It would be even faster with OE.

Yes, it was the PNY Attache 16gb flash drive. I switched to a Patriot 16gb flash drive and it is a lot faster. Thanks for the help.
No, thats not normal. I just timed it on my machine (reboot), its 14sec from bios splash screen till xbmc being useable (I'm using aeon nox which has its own splash screen, without that it was 10-11 seconds). machine is a i5 with ssd.
