So I have a 1TB 7200rpm HDD which used to take about 10 - 15 seconds to boot. I have recently installed another 1TB 7200rpm HDD to move all of my games onto. This has saved my boot up drive around 250GB but the boot up time is now taking longer, around 30 - 50 seconds. Any solutions for a quicker boot up without having to buy an SSD? Thanks.
Slower boot up time

Hey there, Ryan.
I assume your OS is Windows? If this is the case, it really sounds like this is a bit fast for an HDD (10-15 seconds).
I'd recommend that you backup your data, just to be on the safe side and then download an HDD diagnostic tool and test both drives to see if anything unusual pops-up. You could also try the drive with a another computer if you have that option, or at least a different SATA cable and SATA port on yours.
Hope that helps.
