First of all, no one cold boots ANY version of windows to desktop (fully loaded) in 6 seconds. Those types of load times only happen if your system was in hibernate/power down mode. M$ built a couple of cheats into windows 8 (and they were inherited by 10) to make it look like it booted "really fast". One of those cheats was to never "power down" but rather go into a "pretend" power down mode, which was just hibernate mode. My laptop does this because i want it to do this, it takes about 6seconds to "boot". My desktop however has hibernate mode disabled, and it NEVER hits 6 seconds on boot, because when i want to power my desktop down i don't mean for it to go into some sort of hibernation mode, i want it to turn the f- off. The other trick M$ pulled to make windows seem like it was booting fast was to change the order things load, in windows 7 the last thing that loaded was the desktop, now it's one of the first things that load. So while you might hit the desktop fast in win8/10 there still is a lot of things loading in the background.
Now as to your questions -
the sata ports matter, but you have it on on the right one
Samsung RAPID doesn't help with booting, rapid really creates a quasi ramdisk, and it happens after the system boots, so you'll get no help there
There should be a fast boot option in the bios, which can help you jump past a bunch of stuff when booting, that should speed you up a bit
-on the issue of the bios there are a bunch of boot options you could turn off to speed up the boot at the bios level
-things like LAN boot, SMART checks, RAID checks, RAM checks, it depends a bit on how your system is set up what you can turn off and what you can skip.
-your system should be in UEFI mode, im pretty sure win10 can't even boot in legacy, so there is nothing you can do there to make it faster
-check the SATA hard drive setup, make sure the drives are in ACHI/RAID mode, not IDE. That should speed you up a bit; though if you have to CHANGE that setting, you'll probably break the windows install. make sure you have your ACHI/RAID drivers and windows repair disk on hand to fix this if you're going to change this setting.
-but i do know fast boot is a an option in those ASUS motherboards
