People will differ on what an acceptable time is based on exactly what is meant by "boot time"---beginning and ending at what precise points. But yeah, as normally used, that's acceptable, particularly if referring to a standard 2.5 inch SATA drive--which is likely what your Crucial MX500 is.
There's a tool (script) somewhere on this site that can measure it. As I recall, it includes a reboot that cycles through shutdown, POST, and back to when all icons are loaded on the desktop? I used to get around 25 seconds on that with Windows 7, but haven't run it in a long time.
It's here (see post #7) along with a thread full of other people's times to measure yours against....

boot time for me : start button to windows desktop tune.
oops that's with auto sign on
I am running a MX500 too as boot drive. If you right click Start, hit task manager, show details at the bottom and click the startup tab where it lists your startup apps, at the top it tell you the BIOS boot time. Mine is 16.7 seconds for reference.
last BIOS time: 12.9 seconds
glary utilities still says 28 seconds
interesting ....I just restarted with fast boot enabled and got last bios time 11.3 seconds.
I'm troubleshooting to find why the hdmi audio keeps dropping with fast boot enabled.
It makes no difference how windows is booting, because last bios time measures the time before windows boots.
