spin up time

I have speed fan installed and i did a analysis and it came back with my s.m.a.r.t. attributes for my hard drive everything said good but my spin up time was below average limits for my unit. I don't know what that means?

Its exactly what it sounds like, the time to spin up the motor on your hard drive (from 0 to 5400, 7200, 10000, or 15000 rpm, whichever your drive is). Since the only time the drive isn't running at its max speed is when its off and immediately after you wake it up or power on it isn't affecting performance. If it 'passed' everything else I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

If you are still concerned, do a full diagnostic test on it with the drive tools supplied by the drive manufacturer.

if power-on spin-up time is too long, you frequently will see a failure to find the HD.
retrying boot and the system responds correctly.

this is a very old hd error, particularly where the 'heads were parked' and there was
some large interval of time between the Poff to Pon.
