Hello, I have a Samsung 951 MZHPV256HDGL-00000 M.2 SSD and am experiencing slow windows boot! It takes 4-5 seconds to get through the bios to where it says "Starting Windows" and from there it takes a whole minute and 8 seconds before the computer is usable. The motherboard is a Rampage V Extreme / USB3.1 model.

My CrystalDisk stats on the drive are great! 1686 MB/s sequential read and 1267 MB/s sequential write on the 4000 MB test. It is much higher than my 2 850 Evo's in Raid0.

I am not sure what I need to do to be able to get best performance out of my drive, any help would be appreciated!

it is probably not the drive. There are lots of things that take time during boot. Have you looked at a boot analyzer -- https://helgeklein.com/blog/2013/07/analyzing-a-slow-boot-with-windows-performance-recorder-analyzer/ ??
