I agree, my other SSD’s work fine and ONLY the SanDisk has this issue (for me). I even have their replies saying that they are working on the issue, quoted below.

Best regards, Dexter S. SanDisk Technical Support Customer By Email (Bryan Parke) 03/20/2014 03:11 PM I’m glad to hear that it is being worked on. The delay is 30 seconds typically, it takes less time to boot from scratch than it does to wake from sleep. It is very bothersome. I’m looking forward to getting a solution. Thanks.

Based on their replies I was still under the impression that they were working on it. But based on what you heard it sounds like they are not. For all others reading this, I have had several SSD’s including the OWC brand and NONE of them have experienced this startup lag issue, ONLY the SanDisk. So please don’t believe SanDisk when they say all other drives experience it. They just aren’t taking ownership and are refusing to do the right thing. I will never purchase their products again and I will continually advise others to do the same.
