Must be POST taking so long. Had a Lenovo Yoga with some WD slim line drive with a proprietary connector. Took about 40-60 seconds (I forget) from power-on to Windows log-on screen. Eventually got a SATA connector cable and replaced it with a Samsung EVO. Now takes 6 seconds from power on to log in screen. That's the fastest of the bunch I have. Even the Lenovo S30 takes longer (have to wait for BIOS).
