I have a samsung 850 sata SSD 256Gb for OS boot drive. It used to have boot times of around 5-7 seconds. Then i attached a 2 TB seagate hard disk. and everything remained same for some time. I installed gigabyte apps , and enabled fast boot. I also installed a dvd drive. after some days I noticed that it is taking over 10 seconds while in bios boot state and blinking an underscore scanning for drives and then boots up. I have set only the SSD in boot drive priority.
It all happened months ago so , i am in a haze that when exactly did the problem start. What is the ideal boot time for my system, even 5 -7 seconds sounds too long to me considering a win 8 laptop of mine boots up in 8-10 sec with mechanical drive.
I am using windows 10 . but i think it is irrelevant since post bios , the startup is around 4 secs.
