Did you already check the condition and speed of the hard drive?
-
I have SSD crucial m4
-
In that case, do you already have the newest firmware for the SSD installed?

I'd say it's about time you seriously considered cutting bait and getting rid of this machine.

Frequently after a clone or install, for whatever reason, OS X seems to drop the selection of the internal HDD as the default startup drive ... this creates a situation on boot where the system checks around for other startup disks before settling on the internal HDD, adding 20-40 seconds to startup. This manifests as the extended blank white screen before the spinning gear shows up, and is very similar to what your YouTube video shows.
I've replicated this on multiple system upgrades for notebooks in our house, and re-selecting the internal hdd can be a solution. Of course, if your SSD is already selected as the boot drive in SysPref, then your issue is caused elsewhere -

I was thinking same that it will be in actual ssd ..
This is my only one drive in machine ..
This drive is startup drive..
I will need to take out SSD and properly erase it ..
I was installing windows previously and i followed this video on youtube. Installing Windows 7 with USB Flash drive on Macbook Air - YouTube
.installed
iEFIt cos i wanted install from usb but didnt work..
So i took dvd of win 7
After that problem started .. -

What I'm saying is that OS X un-selects the internal drive as the startup, all by itself as part of the clone process, and as a result it forgets that the internal HDD/SSD is supposed to be the default startup that should get accessed first. Thus, it searches around for other boot options before settling on the internal drive as the boot drive, and this process is what takes 20-40 seconds to finish. I've never seen an explanation as to how/why that deselect happens, but it seems to be something that first began with 10.7 Lion (as none of my drive clones during 10.6 ever showed the same issue).
Before you do all you're talking about, please go into System Preferences and confirm that the SSD is highlighted as the startup - if the drive name is not highlighted, then it's been unselected by OS X ... and you need to click to highlight it again so it is assigned as the startup drive (and thus hopefully fix your slow boot issue).
Let us know how it turns out. -
