[SOLVED] Nvme m.2 slow booting

[ilogintou]

Hello everyone,
recently i built a high-end PC
cpu : 8700k
vga : 2080
motherboard : msi z390 meg ace
hdd : 6t western black / 2t western black
ssd : samsung 950 pro nvme m.2 256 gb ( OS ) i had it from my old build
ssd : adata xpg gammix s11 480 gb ( games )
ssd : kingston hyperx 3k 120 gb ( games ) i had it from my old build
Cooler : kraken x72
Ram : xpg spectrix d80 8x16 3600mhz
Case : coolermaster c700p
psu : Corsair hx850i
i have installed a clean windows 10 on samsung 950 pro on uefi mode with a fresh drivers
But the problem is with booting thing, i have noticed that i have a kinda slow booting, it can reach 30-40 sec to load the windows with every software installed on it
so i was wondering if that booting speed is normal ! or im doing something wrong ??
also sometimes system can boot in 10-15 secs but most of time it reaches to 35-40 secs
Please Help !
Thanks

From what I can tell, even though the board supports PCIe x4 on all three M.2 slots, the PCIe connectivity isn't dedicated and shares bandwidth with the SATA ports.

So make sure that you're not plugging your other SATA devices into the first two SATA ports since that's what is going to be used by your M.2 drive.

I'd recommend plugging your SATA devices into the farthest ports starting with port 6 and working your way backwards to make sure you're not plugging anything into ports 1 and 2. This of course is assuming you have the M.2 SSD plugged into the M.2 slot that uses ports 1 and 2.

Depending on which M.2 slot you're using will make the SATA ports it uses different.

Refer to the manual and specifications of your motherboard for more details about which M.2 slot shares bandwidth with which two SATA ports.

That's a lot of storage devices.
The more storage devices you have, that much slower boot becomes. This is normal.
You could turn on fast boot in BIOS to improve boot times (btw - fast boot should be turned off in dual-boot systems).
