Slow POST/BIOS after connecting HDDs

[punkid]

My primary drive is an SSD but i have 3 hard drives for storage. But when i connect even a single hard drive, my post takes around 14 seconds ("Last BIOS time" in task manager). Without any HDD, its 2-3 seconds.

 

I've tried everything, but nothing seems to change this behavior. Is it an ASRock issue ? could someone please tell me what the matter is, because ive seen other pcs where adding an HDD to the system makes no difference.

 

My Specs:

ASRock z87 Killer

Intel COre i5 4570

SSD: Kingston V300

HDDs: Caviar black 1tb, caviar green 2tb, seagate barracude 500gb

 

 

Here are videos to demonstrate.

I've had problems posting with failing drives. Can you check the health of your drives in HD Tune to see if any (or all) of them are failing?

 

Have you also checked to see if a BIOS update is available?

None of the drives are failing, it doesnt even matter which drive i connect, it always takes time. Also, yes i have the latest BIOS
