speaking of boot times, i have a friend with NVMe Sammy 960 pro installed
he used to enjoy blazing fast booting times after shutdowns. but recently he told me his bootups can last as long as 5mins
tested at his place yty, even after setting his BIOS to Ultra Fast, we managed to whittle down to about 1 1/2 mins.
symptoms begin after he pressed start on casing, then it takes pretty damn long for even to POST, before taking awhile for system to go to Windows splash and just loading longer with windows loading circle. once thats all done tho and logged in, everything is just as snappy as ever
what could be problem?

Windows will attempt to power up the hdd after bios, if the hdd went bad, it will just keep detecting untill gives up, then finally boot into windows.
just my assumption though, bad ext hdd could be another cause too.
Or ssd going kaput
