    The theory is that if you put the most used partitions at the beginning of the disk then the heads have to move less to access them. LifeHacker explains...

    are you confusing fast boot with win 10's fast startup? fast boot really doesnt save that much time?? And the problem with enabling things like fast boot comes six months down the line when your pc wont boot because your bios is skipping the memory checks and there is an issue there that slowing the memory down could solve , and by this time you forgot about enabling fast boot and pull your hair out trying to figure out whats wrong. Fast boot is imo pointless to shave a few seconds off of boot time
