Forgive a Linux sinner? Hard drive alignment?
by 640rider from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H9Y7)
Oh forgive me for I have sinned oh great Linux wizards!
It seems I've installed a few (SSD) hard drives in my old T430 and she's developed a seriously slow start up issue.
As many years as I've stumbled through the Linux world I should be better at this, please be gentle!
As mentioned, Lenovo T430
256gb SSD installed about a month ago mSATA type I believe.
1tb SSD just installed today and she needed the whole (initraf?) grub update deal just to get booted up.
Booting LM 20.1 on the 256gb SSD takes about 2 minutes, this is not good!
Booting MX Linux 19.4 fresh download on the 1tb SSD takes around a minute I'd guess, not so good either I'd guess.
This might take some spoon feeding but help would be greatly appreciated.

Where might we go from here, I do some pretty mean ribs if you're in the area! ;0)
