What is Causing my Slow loading screens? Ram Maybe?

Hi all,

This really isn't a huge deal, but I am just wondering what could possibly be the issue.
So the problem: I am experiencing slow loading screens on FF14 on my "amazing" desktop compared to my not-so-"amazing" laptop. I feel like this should not be the case, but it is. Whenever I am loading between worlds or instances, it takes a good 10 seconds longer on my desktop than my laptop.

Laptop specs:
Laptop is a Y570 and full specs can be found on newegg here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246132
It is using a 120gb Verbatim ssd "Up to 550MB/sec Read, Up to 510MB/sec Writing Performance" and the game is installed on this drive.
1366*768

Desktop specs
i5-2500k OC'd to 3.9
motherboard: asus p8-z77 vlx
gtx 780 classified
ddr3 g.skill ripjaw ram - 2x4gb 1600 mhz at 9-9-9-24
2 120gb ssd V300 in raid 0 with game installed on the drive.
2560*1080

Like I said, it's not a huge problem. I was just wondering what it may be and what I could do to rectify it. It just doesn't seem right that my laptop is loading faster than my desktop.

Cheers ya'll!

I bought the v300+ probably within the last 6 months. So, I will check with your link for that information! Thanks!

I am playing on one 2560x1080 monitor. I will, however, attempt to reduce the resolution and see if that affects it at all.
