Have you checked your boot order? Was it previously faster and then slowed down over time? Have you run the Samsung Magician software recently?

How are you measuring boot time?

Id stay away from their cache as it can cause data loss in a power failure and windows already has a disk cache built it. 

 

Also that boot time is fine. If you want faster, just sleep it.

The magician software is crap, don't install that stuff.

SSDs don't need it at all to work correctly.

18 seconds sounds pretty normal, maybe you did something like clone or upgrade and that's slowing it down a bit.

18 Seconds seems fine.

I run a 960 evo m.2 as my boot drive as well and I get 13 Second boots. HOWEVER my stock bios was I think a 5 second splash screen or something ridiculous, and I changed it to a 1 second window to allow me to enter bios. So if I hadn't done that, I would be 4 seconds longer and been at a 17 second boot which is very similar to you.
