Startup times acting weird.

First off: This has been going on for months, I've just been too lazy to give it a try again.

 

I have 4 drives. 2 HDD's amd 2 SSD's.

One SSD is for my OS, one is for games and other software.

HDD's are for storage, not RAID.

 

The thing is.. My startup times are well over a minute, and myy SSD's are both 850 Evo's. Times like those shouldn't even be on the charts!

I have 3 softwares on startup, so that is not a factor.

 

What confuses me the most is that I tried unplugging both my HDD's.. And my startup time increased (or should I say decreased?) from over a minute to less than 30 seconds. This is very weird considering I only have the boot drive active during startup, set it up in bios. My HDD's are however quite old, past their expiration date one might say. Could that be the cause? They are terribly slow when the PC is running normally.

 

Thoughts?

An easy fix could just be to plug in the HDDS only when u need them, this could acctually help me out to.

Well I use them daily, doing that would be a hassle.

Try only with one of it at a time and see if it's still the same?

you can try to set fast boot to ON in the bios and see if that helps

I'll name them by HDD1 and HDD2.

 

Left HDD2 out and HDD1 in. 36 seconds in startup.
