i know exactly what really slow means. lol all jokes aside how slow is really slow.

around 40-50sec

it might be raid issues but you dont need to raid those drives. the sataIII port will bottleneck the drives so you're really not gaining anything. so id suggest reinstalling on just one drive.

 

[marcus8h]

would installing on one drive increase speed?

 

[cbrunnem]

"in theory" yes but you will never notice it.

 

[marcus8h]

so what about the boot speed though

like i said before it could be raid issues. has it always been this slow? are you connected to a sata III port? do you have the raid drivers installed?
